About this drive
The Natchez Trace Parkway follows the route of one of America's oldest roads, tracing a 444-mile path from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee. The parkway is a federally protected corridor of towering hardwood forests, Native American mounds, Civil War battlefields, and cypress swamps. With no commercial vehicles or billboards permitted, the road is a serene, uninterrupted passage through the soul of the American South, rich with history stretching back over 8,000 years.
