The Natchez Trace Parkway, a beloved route in the United States, has officially received a nomination for USA Today’s prestigious 10Best Scenic Drives for the year 2025. This accolade celebrates the parkway’s rich cultural significance and stunning natural landscapes that span the nation. The nomination serves to highlight what both locals and tourists have long recognized: the Natchez Trace Parkway, which extends 444 miles through Mississippi, Alabama, and Tennessee, offers more than just a scenic drive; it invites travelers on a historical journey filled with breathtaking vistas, a deep sense of history, and a hint of southern hospitality.
Kim Foster, the executive director of the Natchez Trace Compact, expressed her enthusiasm about the nomination, stating, “This is a fantastic opportunity to remind everyone of the unique qualities that make the Trace so exceptional. We encourage everyone to help us promote this by voting.” The communities along the parkway dedicate considerable effort to showcase the Natchez Trace Parkway, featuring its picturesque overlooks, hiking trails, historical markers, and various outdoor recreational activities.
Voting for this esteemed recognition is currently underway and will remain open until Monday, May 5th, at 11:59 AM. Those interested in supporting the Natchez Trace Parkway can cast their votes at www.10best.usatoday.com/awards/best-scenic-drive/.
