A jewel of the National Park System, the Natchez Trace Parkway runs from Nashville to Natchez, Mississippi. At one time it was a commerce route as well as a means for river boat crews to return to Nashville overland after completing their runs down the Mississippi. The National Park Service has an excellent Bicycling Information page that covers why the Trace is perfect for cyclists

When traveling the Trace, be sure to check out Natchez Trace Travel, the premier source of information for lodging and sightseeing along the parkway.
