The best camping near Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail guide

Overview

About

Take a walk through history along the Natchez Trace. Discover five separate foot trails totaling 65 miles that wind through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee. Explore old-growth forests lush with greenery, or walk through the ghost town of Rocky Springs, Mississippi.

Native Americans, ancient wildlife and military soldiers once walked these paths. The original trail spanned 450 miles and was an ancient migratory route.

Sections of these trails vary in difficulty. Some portions include wading through knee-deep water as you cross shallow creeks. Other parts cross major highways, so make sure to watch out for traffic when you come upon a paved road. Some trails are one-way only, while others form a loop. The general rule of thumb is 30 minutes for 1 mile of hiking on gentle terrain.

For a more efficient mode of travel, saddle up as you travel sections of the Natchez Trace on horseback. Horses are not allowed on paved roads or in campsites, although you can park horse trailers near trailheads.

Landforms and scenic areas run the gamut. Baker Bluff Overlook gives you great views, while the same paved trail takes you to Jackson Falls. Access Fall Hollow Waterfall through a steep trail that takes you through deep woods. The reward is well worth the effort, as this isolated waterfall offers a picturesque spot to truly become one with nature.

Along the way, you may see remnants of old mills, ferry dock sites, old towns that time forgot and plenty of wildlife. For a fall weekend getaway, nothing beats the colorful foliage of the trees in late October.
