SWIM TRACE PARKWAY

The Natchez Trace Parkway, a veritable greenery, is an exclusively touristic road connecting Natchez, Mississippi, Nashville, Tennessee, 444 miles (715 kilometers). The majority of his course is in the Mississippi that she runs through diagonal, following the track of the same name borrowed by the Indians and European explorers. The latter was the major communication axis of the entire region until the steam boats appeared. His commercial interest disappeared completely with the arrival of the railway.

The road now attracts a large number of tourists who see this as an excellent way to escape the large motorways and reach the departure of the multiple hikes on the route.

Among the major points of interest near Parkway, we can quote from Natchez: Jackson and Tupelo in Mississippi; Muscle Shoals, in Alabama; Leipers's Forks, Franklin and Nashville, in Tennessee. The National Park Service site provides detailed maps of the route to download.

There is no restaurant or gas station on Parkway. However, most cities around the world are able to meet your needs, including accommodation. Also know that the speed is limited to 50 miles/h and that many animals are likely to surprise you on the road at night. Among the essential stops on the Natchez Parkway: the very photogenic Swamp Swamp, the point of view of Pearl river Bend, the historic Rocky Springs site, and the old Sunken Trace track.
