The Natchez Trace Parkway commemorates the historic travel corridor known as the Natchez Trace, which is one of the oldest transportation routes in North America. The modern Parkway stretches 444 miles and takes more than 10 hours to drive from end to end through three states, 25 counties, and 20 communities. The combined residential population of the counties it traverses is nearly two million. In addition, there are more than 3,000 commercial and private landowners immediately adjacent to the Parkway boundary. The modern Parkway was completed in 2005 and now covers one of the largest geographic ranges of any unit in the national park system. The Parkway corridor, which spans five degrees of latitude, includes 52,000 acres of impressive scenic, natural, cultural, and historic resources representing a variety of traditional southern landscapes - forests, wetlands, prairies, rivers, pastures, and croplands. In 1996, the Natchez Trace Parkway was designated a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road for its significant historic, cultural, natural, and scenic qualities. Almost 6 million people visited the Parkway in 2014, which makes it the eighth most visited National Park Service place in the nation. Headquarters is based in Tupelo, Mississippi.
