This historic, 444-mile scenic parkway links Natchez with Nashville and crosses some of the most beautiful terrain in the states of Mississippi, Alabama and Tennessee.
The Parkway has been declared a National Scenic Byway and an All-American Road and has been chosen as one of America's 10 best biking roads.
Open year-round for motorists, hikers and bikers, it provides visitors the opportunity for an unhurried trip through time. Maintained and administered by the National Park Service, the Parkway commemorates the most significant highway of the Old Southwest.
In an ambitious effort to promote visitation to the communities located on either side of the historic Natchez Trace Parkway, the Natchez Trace Compact was formed in 1999 and continues to expand its outreach marketing program today.
