Review:
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a 444-mile drive that forms a continuous green belt or transect from the Tennessee Appalachian foothills to the bluffs of the lower Mississippi. The parkway crosses four different ecosystems, eight watersheds, and twelve eco regions.
From oak and beech forests in the far south, oak and pine mixes in the middle, to oak and hickory in the north, you drive through vastly diverse habitats such as streams, swamps, lakes, forests of all kinds and so much more. While by no means pristine, this area that was known to early settlers and American Indians is maintained in as natural state as possible. Stop by the Natchez Trace Parkway Visitor Center which offers interpretive displays and an orientation film.
