A Walk through History
The Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail runs parallel to the Natchez Trace Parkway, a 444-mile, scenic motor road. Five sections of hiking trail, totaling more than 60 miles, offer opportunities to explore wetlands, swamps, hardwood forest, rock outcroppings, overlooks, and the history of the area. Established in 1983, the trail is part of the National Park Service and the National Trails System.
