About The Natchez Trace:

The National Trails System Act of 1968 identified the Natchez Trace as one of the initial 14 routes nationwide thought to have potential as a national scenic trail. The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile drive through exceptional scenery and 10,000 years of North American history. Used by American Indians, "Kaintucks," settlers, and future presidents, the Old Trace played an important role in American history. Today, visitors can enjoy not only a scenic drive but also hiking, biking, horseback riding, and camping. Established as a unit of the National Park System in 1938 and officially completed in 2005, the Parkway commemorates the most significant highway of the Old Southwest. The natural travel corridor that became the Natchez Trace dates back many centuries. It bisected the traditional homelands of the Natchez, Chickasaw, and Choctaw nations. As the United States expanded westward in the late 1700s and early 1800s, growing numbers of travelers tramped the rough trail into a clearly marked path. The ”sunken” sections you can walk along today are clear signs of historic use. In 1801 President Thomas Jefferson designated the Trace a national postal road for the delivery of mail between Nashville and Natchez.

Gen. Andrew Jackson, Jefferson Davis, James Audubon, Meriwether Lewis (who died on the Trace in 1809), and Ulysses S. Grant are among the famous Americans to have traveled the Natchez Trace. Most travelers were anonymous working folks. In the early 1800s through the mid-1820s, “Kaintucks” from the Ohio River Valley floated cash crops, livestock, and other materials down the Mississippi River on wooden flatboats. At Natchez or New Orleans, they sold their goods, sold their boats for lumber, and walked or rode horseback toward home via the Old Trace. As the road was improved, stands (inns) provided lodging, food, and drink to Trace travelers. Today the Natchez Trace provides a near-continuous greenway from the southern Appalachian foothills of Tennessee to the bluffs of the lower Mississippi River. Along the way are sites like Emerald Mound, a national historic landmark and one of the largest American Indian mounds in the United States; and Mount Locust, one of only two surviving stands. The Natchez Trace also crosses four ecosystems and eight major watersheds, and provides habitat for nearly 1,500 species of plants, 33 mammal species, 134 bird species, and 70 species of reptiles and amphibians. Also designated as a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road, the parkway encourages modern travelers to experience historic and scenic landscapes at a leisurely pace.

About The Highland Rim Trail Section:

The Highland Rim Trail Section is located in the beautiful rolling hills of Middle Tennessee. The trail offers 24 miles of single and double track trail with countless water crossings and short steep technical Ascents and Descents. You can begin your journey at either the Northern Trailhead at Garrison Creek (MP-427.6) or the Southern Trailhead (MP-407.7 ) & Hwy 50. The Garrison Creek Trailhead (MP-427.6) will have both Water and Restroom Facilities while the Southern Trail head (MP-407.7) is a basically a parking lot with Trail access. Once on trail you will find a little bit of everything from short technical climbs to buffed out pine needle covered single-track, water crossings, rock-strewn descents, quite hollows to short off cambered jaunts running along the Natchez Trace Parkway. While the trail isn't your typical buffed out single-track used by hundreds of folks daily it is a welcomed change and a chance to get a way from all busy streets and car exhaust and take in a little History lesson while running along the hills and hollows of the "Old Highland Rim" and the "Old Trace. The Trail is pretty straight forward as it runs along side the Natchez Trace Parkway, while there is a couple of spurs that deserves a little attention to find the trail, overall its pretty straight forward through out. I will caution that this trail could be overgrown with weeds and briar's throughout the summer and fall as the trail isn't maintained by anyone and is really pretty raw. Late Fall and Winter is the optimum time to enjoy the trail!

Closest Trailhead to the Property:

Highway 7 or Fly Trailhead (Milepost 416)

The Highway 7 Trailhead provides a small parking area for one or two horse trailers. If space is available, this will be a great starting point for just a few people. If there are numerous people riding together, the Highway 50 trailhead may be a better option. There is no water available at this trailhead. One hitching post is available here.

From the Highway 7 exit, turn left and travel under the Parkway. Take your first left, and the trailhead will be on your left.
