The Parkway corridor extends over five degrees of latitude and boasts an impressive 52,000 acres of breathtaking scenic beauty. Within this expanse, visitors can immerse themselves in a diverse array of traditional southern landscapes, including forests, wetlands, prairies, rivers, pastures, and croplands. These natural wonders are accompanied by rich cultural and historic resources, creating an immersive experience for all who traverse its path.

Recognizing its immense value, the Natchez Trace Parkway was rightfully designated as a National Scenic Byway and All-American Road in 1996.
