The Natchez Trace is a historical path that extends about from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee and links the Cumberland, Tennessee, and Mississippi Rivers. It was created and used for centuries by Native Americans and was later used by early European and American explorers, traders, and emigrants. Today, the trail is commemorated by the Natchez Trace Parkway and the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This section of the Trace flows through mostly remote areas with thick, gorgeous forests lining the road. The scenery is wonderful and there are also many historic sites to see. Some of these are the town of Rocky Springs, Grindstone Ford, Mangum Mound, and Sunken Trace. Informational signs provide information on these sites. Owens Creek Waterfall adds to the scenery.
