Address: 191 Meriwether Lewis Park, Hohenwald, TN 38462

The 444-mile Natchez Trace Parkway follows one of North America's oldest travel routes, a path worn by bison, deepened by Indigenous traders for thousands of years, and walked by 'Kaintuck' boatmen returning from New Orleans in the early 1800s; Meriwether Lewis died on the Trace in 1809 and is buried beside it.

Walk stretches of the original sunken trace, climb Emerald Mound, and see the double-arched bridge. For a challenge, cyclists can ride long car-free stretches of the parkway through the forest.
