Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail

The Old Natchez Trace was a 500-mile footpath that ran through Choctaw and Chickasaw lands connecting Natchez, Mississippi, to Nashville, Tennessee. You can experience portions of that journey the way earlier travelers did - on foot. Today there are four separate trails totaling 65 miles.

The four trails are: Rocky Springs Trail, Mississippi; Tupelo Trail, Mississippi; Ridgeland Trail, Mississippi; and Leipers Fork Trail, Tennessee.
