Description
The Natchez Trace Parkway is a historic 444 mile path from Nashville, Tennessee to Natchez, Mississippi. The Parkway is a national park that roughly follows the original commerce route between Nashville and Natchez where goods were traded at the port in Natchez on the Mississippi River.
Evidence of the original route can be seen in several places along the parkway and in some areas hiking trails join the old road. This particular section is in French Camp, Mississippi and as you can see in the photo the hiking trail follows the edge of the split rail fence.
This style of split rail fence was popular all along the Trace in earlier days. The fence is highlighted by the yellow flowers in the background which is offset by the blue sky above separated by the tree line.
