Why Bike the Natchez Trace?


Whether it's pedal bike or motorcycle, biking the Natchez Trace has become a very popular thing to do.

There are three main reasons why:

  • Commercial traffic is prohibited on the Trace.  And the speed limit is only 50 miles per hour (except for the northernmost 14 miles where it is 40 mph)
  • The Trace is a very safe environment.  If you or a friend or family member is somewhat inexperienced and are looking for a place to get started, try biking the Trace
  • There are over 35 B&Bs cottages and cabins spaced out along the Trace as part of the Natchez Trace Bed & Breakfast Reservation Service.  
Free planning can be obtained at the link above.  The planning includes confirmation letters, recommenced bike routes and other useful information for biking the trace.  For this free service you can call 800.377.2770  

Buffalo River Farm and Studio, located 3.3 miles from the Trace,  is a partner B&B with the Natchez Trace Reservation Service and provides indoor storage of bicycles, a great place to stay as well as a hearty breakfast.  

We hope to see you soon!!
