A short trail leads down to a cool rock formation that is especially gorgeous during autumn. There are picnic tables, grills, and toilets here as well.

A short half-mile detour east of the Natchez Trace will take you you the Natchez Trading Post. There's a convenience store, restrooms, and a small cafe serving breakfast and lunch.

On the night of October 11th, 1809 Meriwether Lewis, of the Lewis & Clark Expedition, met his end as a result of two gunshots. It has long been argued as to if it was a murder or suicide, though those closest to him, Thomas Jefferson and William Clark, believed it was suicide due to his and his family's history of what is believed to be manic-depression (bipolar disorder). These days you can visit the memorial to him and walk the grounds on the Swan Creek Trail. The National Park Service runs a free campground here as well. All of the sites are available on a first come first served basis. There is potable water, flush toilets, fire pits with grills, but no showers.

Jackson Falls is one of the most popular stops along the Natchez Trace. A short, 900 feet, but steep trail leads you to the falls as they cascade over the rock wall. There's a picnic area too, so it makes a good place to stop for a meal break.

Towering 155 feet above the valley, the Double Arch Bridge gives you a commanding view over the surrounding landscape. It was constructed in 1994 and received the Presidential Award for Design Excellence in 1995.

The bridge is a great place to overlook the surrounding landscape of the Natchez Trace. Locally on the trace, issues with safety requirements has resulted in the permanent placement of a gate alongside the bridge.

Get some speed on this downhill descent, as you turn left past the Natchez Trace sign you have a wonderful opening with a good view of the surrounding land.
