This section of the Natchez Trace Parkway travels through northwest Alabama crossing over the Tennessee River near its halfway point. The trail provides great view points and scenic vistas along the way through the rolling hills of Alabama’s countryside. Begin along the Alabama/Mississippi state line, at the parking area just off of the parkway and travel to the Alabama/Tennessee state line (shown here), or vise versa. This trail can be done as an out out-and-back day trip, or one way which is shown here. If desired, the entire route of the Natchez Trace Parkway can be linked with this portion beginning from Natchez, Mississippi traveling to Nashville, Tennessee.
