Natchez Trace Parkway Active and Adventure Highlights

By Travel Expert: Alistair Wearmouth

Bike all 444 miles of the historic parkway, stopping to camp at specially designated bike-only campsites along the way. The best seasons are spring and fall.
Visit Shiloh National Military Park, site of a bloody Civil War battle in 1862. Historical reenactments take place from April to October, with a major living-history demonstration each April to commemorate the event.
Go for a horseback ride on the 18-mile Witch Dance Horse Trail in Mississippi's Tombigbee National Forest.
If you're traveling south to north, finish off your tour with a welcome feast at Nashville's Loveless Cafe, where you’ll replenish some energy with mouthwatering Southern cuisine such as fried chicken, scratch biscuits, and BBQ ribs.
Camp at 33,000-acre Ross Barnett Reservoir, just outside Jackson, Miss., where you can fish and swim to your heart's content after your road-biking odyssey down the Trace. When crawfish are in season (January through May), chow down on fresh grub at Sal & Phil's in nearby Ridgeland.
