Bike the Natchez Trace Parkway

When cycling the Parkway, you won’t find commercial traffic, stoplights, or billboards–just nature’s beauty, the opportunity to view wildlife, historic sites, and an unforgettable experience.
Nature on the Natchez Trace

Out of the Parkway’s 52,000 acres, almost 39,000 of those are maintained in a “natural” condition. That means you’ll find bountiful forests, non-agricultural fields, and sparkling water.
Rich in History

Used by American Indians, “Kaintucks” and settlers, the Old Trace played an important role in American history and culture. Today, walk in the footsteps of those from long ago as you visit historic stops.
Nature's Beauty

Whether you’re driving or cycling along the Parkway, springtime is always a delight! Experience the blooming redbuds and dogwoods this spring.
