The Natchez Trace Parkway is a protected highway, and just a beautiful scenic highway with great stops for short hiking along the way. This bridge is close to the mouth of the Trace that runs all the way down to Mississippi. It’s a great place to get out and see the beauty of Middle Tennessee. You’ll want to check out Jackson Falls and the overlook, too!
