Information for cyclists bicycling from the Natchez Trace to Isabella B&B - Port Gibson, MS.
Isabella B&B on historic Church Street in downtown Port Gibson is only a couple miles off the Natchez Trace Parkway (please see recommended bicycle route below). Two of the four guest rooms have two beds - so accommodations are ideal for couples and/or singles biking together.
Cyclists staying at Isabella could also bike the 32 mile Windsor Ruins Loop Route (7 miles on the Natchez Trace and 25 miles on country roads and thru Port Gibson), more info: click here
