Natchez Trace Parkway
Mississippi
The Natchez Trace Parkway is Mississippi’s official route for the Harley-Davidson 50 Rides Challenge. This historic scenic highway follows one of America’s oldest travel corridors, winding through rolling hills, hardwood forests, historic landmarks, and peaceful countryside. With no commercial traffic and a relaxed pace, it offers one of the South’s finest motorcycle rides.
The official Harley-Davidson checkpoint is the Natchez Trace Parkway sign along the parkway in Mississippi. Be sure to stop for your checkpoint photo before continuing your ride along this nationally recognized scenic route.
