Great nature trails can be found all over Mississippi, but if you’re searching for “The Nature Trail,” you’ll have to head to Natchez. Also known as the “Lower Trail,” the one-a-kind hike features a 200’ descent, provides unparalleled views of the Mighty Mississippi, and leads straight to the city’s historic district, Under-The-Hill. Take a look:
Established in 1716, Natchez is one of the state's oldest cities and loaded with history.
While most of Natchez's stately antebellum homes are open for touring year-round, a great time to visit is during the Natchez Pilgrimage. Held twice a year, the event attracts thousands of people from across the country. Click here for more information.
