Here are highlights, plus photos, of our favorite place to hike on the Natchez Trace Parkway: The Old Trace at milemarker 426.3.

Road Walking The Natchez Trace Parkway

| Comments (0)

walking-natchez-trace-bridge.jpg While there are a fair amount of walking and hiking trails along the Natchez Trace Parkway (especially near the rest stops and tourist facilities)...

The fact of the matter is, you will find many people walking on the roadway itself -- especially around the big expansion bridge over Highway 96 in Franklin, TN.

Why?

Because walking the Trace is a great way to get some exercise and see some of the most beautiful countryside in America!

  • We take our Jeep out Geocaching at times. This was a very small nano cache we found one time.
  • They seemed rather friendly. All eyes were on me, that's for sure. Except the one... he was mighty hungry.
  • If you look closely, and to the right, you can see that there are 4 cows between the treeline and the Natchez Trace Parkway. Rather close to cars going 50 mph.
  • Even more wild turkeys on the Natchez Trace Parkway... again!
