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 route extends from the Alabama-Mississippi border to a parking area just before Kirkville. You will pass through the Tishomingo State Park and along the Trace are many points of interest. Some of these include Bear Creek Mound, Cave Spring, Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, Pharr Mounds, and Donivan Slough. The scenery is beautiful.
