The Natchez Trace Parkway stretches 450 miles from the hills of Nashville, Tennessee, to the rich farmlands of Natchez, Mississippi. Originally an Indian path, the Natchez Trace became the road that opened the forested wilderness of the Deep South to settlers, soldiers, boatmen, and outlaws. Administered by the National Park Service, this modern-day parkway entices cyclists from around the world.

Plan your tour of the Natchez Trace and learn its fascinating history with this easy-to-use guidebook. Also included are several day excursions and overnight tours which link the Parkway with peaceful rural roads leading to quaint towns, antebellum homes, and Civil War Battlefields.

• Information on campgrounds, bed & breakfasts, motels, and food locations

• Trip descriptions including area attractions, natural features, and historic points of interest

• Climate, terrain, elevation, and general conditions

• Detailed left-right directions and maps for routes off the parkway
