Following are some of the gas stations, convenience stores and restaurants that you’ll find if you exit the Natchez Trace Parkway at milemarker 408 near Centerville and turn left (east) or right (west) onto Highway 50.

Here are details and photos of our favorite Natchez Trace hiking trail near Nashville TN. The Old Trace trailhead is located at milemarker 426.3 on the Natchez Trace Parkway.

I don’t know much about turkeys, but I’d say it’s baby turkey season here in Tennessee! These past 2 weeks, I’ve been seeing LOTS of little tiny wobbly-legged birds playing follow-the-leader along the side of the Natchez Trace Parkway. It’s soooo cute!
