Riding the ENTIRE Natchez Trace Parkway in Two Days! Solo Motorcycle Road Trip

[@ridetofood]

WHEW! The Trace was actually a pretty fun ride. Boring at times of course but overall, I'd definitely go back, especially in the Fall! I'll be linking the full guide here once it's finished, but until then, you can check out the full parts list for my Harley-Davidson Low Rider ST: ridetofood.com/staci-wilts-2023-harley-davidson-low-rider-st-build-specs or just head over to the blog to read other travel guides and reviews! 😊

I live next to it and driven/rode on it for years. Always be on the lookout for wild animals. Deer are unpredictable and will take you out. Slow down if you see them. Don't ride at night. Park Rangers are using unmarked vehicles in certain sections for a reason. You may encounter other local, county and state LEOs on it for a reason. Had a few sketchy encounters at some places. Get an uneasy gut feeling, leave. Ride Safe.

You missed the worlds best friend chicken in Lorman, MS. According to the Food Network and Alton Brown's motorcycle travels for food.

[@ridetofood]

​@@Dave-sw2dm it's impossible to cover EVERYTHING near the trace in a single video. thanks for understanding!

@@ridetofood , I dont know where you are based out of but if you ever get to "Land Between the Lakes" area you should try the pork chop at Patti's 1880s Settlement in Grand Rivers, KY.

That’s a great compliment! Thank you! 😊

Oh the memories...We lived on the Trace twice.10 days and 8 days. We camped at all three free campgrounds and loved it. We had the chance to slow down and enjoy all the rich history the Trace has to offer.

[@ridetofood]

Awesome!!

I rode the Natchez Trace both ways in October 2023 on a Honda Monkey. Racked up 1079 miles in four days. It was rough.

[@msims1250]

I ride the Natchez Trace nearly every day. I’m in Central Mississippi and my house is less than a mile from the Trace, so any time I feel like doing some leisurely riding, I just jump on the Trace and go. It’s a really lovely ride for most of the year, but the fall is definitely my favorite time to ride. Cooler temps, less humidity, and beautiful colors. French Camp is really neat, and The Council House has good food. Great video!

[@ambu6478]

I just discovered your KZbin channel. I envy what you are doing so much! I'm a 69 year old man who just had spinal fusion surgery a few weeks ago. I got my first bike at eleven rode every chance until I went in the Army out of High School. As soon as I got back home, I bought a motorcycle! I rode several longer rides on several different bikes over the years, some to the Great Smoky Mountains. My wife even bought her own bike and we have ridden several trips together. I wish I had taken a ride to the Smokies and tent camped, or at least stayed at the biker campgrounds like you have done! I may never be able to ride again, so if I could give any advice to younger people it would be this.. take time to get away...see places you've never seen, do things you've never done, because before you know it, you'll be like me, too old to do the things that I used to do and wish you had taken time for yourself and your loved ones! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us...I love seeing all of the sights and places that you explore on that beautiful motorcycle! Be careful and enjoy The Ride!! Thanks again!

[@ridetofood]

love it! Thank you!

[@BadHorsie2]

You’ll definitely need a pint of beer to eat that lean brisket. I always get the moist brisket too. That looks like a super nice place to ride.

[@AdventureswithRedbeard]

I absolutely love the Natchez Trace. I live 30 minutes from Lovless Cafe and find ways of including the Trace anytime I can. Under the Hill is amazing. I could sit there all day watching the river. I'll have to try The Pig & Pint and the Neon Pig. Thanks for sharing your adventure.

[@ridetofood]

Definitely get that bananas foster pudding!!!

[@AdventureswithRedbeard]

​@@ridetofoodI'll definitely do that. I first had bannanas foster pudding in Nashville at Gumbo Brothers. Looking forward to trying others. Thanks again for sharing.

[@neildewitt2869]

I was fortunate to see and ride different areas of the trace back in 1981-1983 while stationed for training at Columbus, MS. Yes, the turkeys down their were thick and fun to see/ hunt!

[@IdRatherRide]

It's funny you mention deer, as we hit one on the Blue Ridge Pkwy last Saturday (2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic.) We were only going about 35 mph, and we stayed upright, but it's in the shop now to fix the fender, turn signal, and lower fairing. Stay safe!

[@ridetofood]

oh dang, glad it was low-ish speed and it turned out to be best case scenario all things considered

[@christopherdodd1423]

I rode the Trace three years back. I also ate ate at the Loveless Cafe and enjoyed the biscuits. Your advice about not riding the Trace at night because of deer is spot on. Love your content and of course the motorcycle.

[@karentunkel4545]

You make me want to visit places I never even thought of! Great guide with so much helpful information for planning a trip! ❤

[@slydale]

Hi! Great video! I commute the Jackson-Reservoir portion of the Trace everyday. (From I55-Hwy 43) That truly is the best portion of the southern part of the Trace. It does provide a great way to decompress from workday blues. If youre ever around this portion for sunset, turn off at Hwy 43, cross the land bridge to the Sunset Grill and marina. Its a spectacular spot to catch a sunset over water. Again, great video, you've given me new ideas for places to seek out n enjoy. Thank you for your hard work and very entertaining reviews of all your rides. May God bless n protect you over all your rides n endevours.

[@ridetofood]

Haha that’s awesome!

[@christiankramer]

I rode the Natchez Trace Parkway last year in June with detours to Vicksburg and Memphis also in two days. I can recommend to have a break in the small coffeehouses beside the Parkway, especially Lost Gringos Coffeehouse (French Camp) and The Dragonfly (Collinwood). It was so relaxed; I only meet some cars and 5 motorcycles on the road. Finally I had a great meal in Nashville at Martins Bar-B-Que Joint. (Next day I rode the Tail of the Dragon and the Cherohala Skyway with a rented HD StreetGlide) It was my first time in the US and it was awesome! I will come definitely back again.

[@davidminyard9369]

Very neat! I've ridden the northern half of the Trace many times... and eaten at the Loveless every single time! Always delicious!

[@MichaelH416]

I wonder how old that huge tree is at the Sunken Trace? The Pig and Pint is “known” for the Mac n Cheese. When we planned our trip to the area my non-meat eating friend wanted to make sure we went there for the MnC. The eyes on that first bite of fries. I know you worked hard to get this down to about 1/2 hour and you did an amazing job. Another GREAT video from Ride To Food. Very inspiring.

[@ridetofood]

I wondered the same thing about the trees! Definitely gotta go back for that Mac. Shew! As always, thank you!!😊🤘

I’ve ridden the Trace from Nashville to Natchez and loved it! Even the boring sections are amazing because it’s so relaxing and beautiful. Loved the video! Thank you.

I am so enjoying your ride videos that I have watched so far! My brother is a huge motorcycle guy, while I just got a new 2024 Mazda MX-5 Miata GT RF and have already put it through its paces on the Dragon, Cherohala Skyway, Diamondback, etc and am looking forward to many more drives. He has shared about thirty of his favorite rides around the country and I have a notebook already getting full of maps, plans and details for all the places on my bucket list of drives. Your explanations, tips and especially reviews of places to stop for good food (I'm with you there!) are the best. Thanks so much for taking the time to do these very well made videos. Looking forward to learning a lot from you that I can use when I follow in my soul red Miata! Be safe and enjoy.

[@onedownhornsup]

I ride the “Trace” every week for work in Natchez. You definitely have to check out the Natchez Brewery next time. They make all of their pizza and sauce in house. Just north of a Jackson is a place called the Ratliff Ferry. A big biker destination here with live music and good food. Such a fun road for us bikers for sure, let alone the history.

[@ridetofood]

Yes! Those are both on my map already that I mentioned in the video. Natchez Brewery was closed - I was supposed to go there but no dice. Ratliff was a "maybe i'll stop" but wasn't high on my priority list for this adventure. I can see it being a hot spot on a weekend, for sure!

[@CARLPHILLY]

I go there to Ratliff ferry all the time, it is very nice Hang out with a little restaurant gas and a lot of interesting people riding their bikes up the trace.

[@RumorHazi]

Natchez Trance. 50 mph. FEDERAL speeding tickets. What fun.

[@ridetofood]

Sounds like you learned the hard way!

[@RumorHazi]

@@ridetofood Yep, and an hour before the ticket a “National Park Ranger” passed us going the other way doing at least 75. I will say this, a group of us did a good section of the Trance on WR250’s and camped along the way. That was good because the bikes lent themselves to lower speeds. Also, cool that throughout the length of the route there are ZERO billboards.

[@Bill0167]

😂😂 also… my pull out game is weak!! 😂😂 sorry, couldn’t help it… when you mentioned no place to stop on the side of the road/ no pull outs!

Just recently did a leg from Ridgeland to Vicksburg at night in a raining cats and dogs thunderstorm on the Trace. Kept thinking…this would be SO awesome if it was ya know….not raining its ass off….and daytime. BTW, the Trace puddles bad during a storm. Bike handled it well though. Clinton visitor center was very kind and considerate when I stopped there for a quick refuge from the storm. They were even hosting an event that evening.

[@ridetofood]

Sounds like an adventure!

[@paintbynumbersllc571]

I know your pain about the heat. I rode the Trace about 2-3 years ago in July and it was hot, hot, hot.

[@ridetofood]

shew I bet!

[@purdueuph70]

Did the Trace last fall from Northbound Natchez to Nashville and YES stopped to eat at the Loveless Cafe. I found the Trace very relaxing even though the weather was still hot in October. Then I motored down to Birmingham AL for the Vintage Festival Weekend at Barber Motorsports. If you ride, you must go there. Just returned from a week out East starting at Front Royal VA. I have been on the Blue Ridge Parkway many times but this was going to be from beginning to the end including the Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. Traffic was light and temps are 7-10 degrees cooler than at the bottom of the Mountain.

Hey Stacy, I'm in Baton Rouge, La, and I love riding the Trace for a weekend get-away. I stumbled across the Lost & Found last trip. The couple that owns the place was really nice and now it's a must stop for me. I also ended the trip at Loveless Cafe, but the best part was turning around and going all the way back down. Great content, thanks for sharing!

My family would take the Trace from Florence, AL on our way to see family in Louisiana but they were always driving 80 MPH just trying to get there. I drove it at 50 from Jackson to Florence on a snowy day and just really enjoyed it. I have never gone North from Florence to Nashville but plan on doing that soon. My girlfriend lives three miles from the Trace and I took her on it the second time she ever rode a motorcycle and she loved it. So laid back and so much to see.

[@Bweizr]

I've got two days on the Trace planned for next April and while my biggest concern is definitely that heat and humidity, I'm certainly not looking forward to the mosquitos. Fingers crossed that my mesh gear, some Sawyer repellant, and treating my gear with permethrin will be enough. Neon Pig and Loveless Cafe are on the list, and of course I've highlighted a few historic spots on my map as must-see stops. Waze and Rever will constantly be running so I don't miss any of them. Planning for all the Sunday closures in the South is also a bit of an unfamiliar challenge for me but I'm sure I'll get along fine. Thanks for another fantastic video, looking forward to the blog post!

Excellent video. Nashvillian here and a retiree that got my 1st bike last year and have been riding the Natchez Trace on the northern end. It’s a great road to ride but I’ve since found a number of great backroads to get down to Leiper’s Fork that are just as good if not better to ride. I know East Tennessee is famous for the tail of the dragon and all and I’m sure it’s great riding over there. But Middle Tennessee has some great roads to check out too. You do great work and I’m going to have to dig into your channel and see some more. Be safe!

Loveless Cafe is awesome. My parents used to live just outside of Nashville. We have been too Loveless a few times. I drove my parents on a trip on the Natchez Trace starting in Nashville. Want to do it on a motorcycle someday. Fall would be the best time for that with the leaves changing.
