Jim and I have driven the entire length of the Natchez Trace Parkway — from Tupelo Mississippi to Nashville Tennessee — several times. (We have a friend who lives in Starkeville, Mississippi… enough said.)
In total, the Natchez Trace Parkway covers 101 miles in the state of Tennessee, and passes through 7 Tennessee counties: Davidson, Williamson, Maury, Hickman, Lewis, Lawrence, and Wayne (from north to south, respectively). It spans from mileposts 341 to 444.
Plus, I’ve biked the northernmost end of the Trace more times than I can count. Mostly I ride from the Garrison Creek parking area just past the Leiper’s Fork exit (Hwy 46) — all the way to the very end of the Parkway at Highway 100 in Nashville (near the Lovelace Cafe).
That’s my favorite out & back biking route along the Natchez Trace — roughly, from mileposts 427 to 440.

The Natchez Trace Parkway is rated one of the Top 10 Biking Routes in the country!
Mostly, these days we like to hop in the Jeep and ride. We turn around whenever the mood strikes us. And we stop & see whatever we feel like stopping and seeing. It’s such a relaxing and leisurely drive.
Here are my tips if you want to see the Natchez Trace, but you only have a very short time to do so…

I like to help people find unique ways to do things in order to save time & money -- so I frequently write about "outside the box" ideas that most wouldn't think of. As a lifelong dog owner, I often share my best tips for living with and training dogs. I worked in Higher Ed several years until switching gears to pursue things I was more passionate about. I've worked at a vet, in a photo lab, and at a zoo -- to name a few. I enjoy the outdoors via bicycle, motorcycle, Jeep, or RV.
