National Trail System: Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail

|
The Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail lies within the boundaries of the Natchez Trace Parkway, extending for 450 miles from Natchez MS to Nashville TN. The parkway commemorates the historic Natchez Trace, an ancient path that began as a series of animal tracks and Native American trails. It was later used by early explorers, "Kaintuck" boatmen, post riders, and military men. In 1987 four segments near Nashville, Jackson, and Natchez totaling 62 miles were selected for development as hiking and horseback trails.
The Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail is administered by the Natchez Trace Parkway of the National Park Service.
