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! 😊

Nice video keep up the good work RideToFood

[@mojomanmurph1925]

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.

[@Dave-sw2dm]

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!

That’s a great compliment! Thank you! 😊

[@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!

[@BootsandJeansRiders]

Awe maaan! Now we have to go back just for that burger 🍔

[@outlawgrunge4441]

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

[@ridetofood]

haha that's amazing! what a ride!

[@conniewaite1371]

U have a utube channel? Would like to follow you,just got my monkey

[@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.

[@BootsandJeansRiders]

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!!

[@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!

[@ridetofood]

[@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.

[@TheAlienJones]

Grew up close to Cahokia in Illy. My Dad would can preserve green tomatoes so we could fry some up in the dead of winter. He would say, Nobody else in Illinois is eating fried green tomatoes in January! He was a nut! Love your channel!

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.

[@scorchogrey2385]

“From Jackson to Tupelo” is SO boring. But…FWIW, that is still a place where the Trace still serves its original purpose….its the best way to get from point A to point B.

[@ridetofood]

👍👍

[@scorchogrey2385]

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.

[@kanuklastman3436]

It's 444 miles long, so riding it in two days is definitely possible. Some folks I know do that kind of mileage in one day. But for me, I took two days. It's the journey, not the destination!

[@ridetofood]

Eh, anyone who says they’re gonna do it in a day isn’t factoring in the speed limit. It’s not the interstate

[@stanfordpittman1654]

Hey, what up? If you ever do the trace again the best of everything is in Natchez and the off beaten tracts of the surrounding area. You see if we knew you were coming we would of got on our bikes and come and got you. We would of cooked you real southern food that would leave your taste buds feeling guilty for thinking about another food while eating the food you swore your love to. I lived in Jackson (the armpit of the south) for a good bit and their food and restaurants are not a strong point for them nor is Natchez restaurants... except for Roux 61. Also there is a art to cooking brisket and the whole thing should be moist. You could just hang out and go walking the creeks hunting artifacts like arrowheads. Go drink beer and catfish off a islands sandy beaches in the middle of the Ms River. Go check out ghost towns like Rodney Ms. where a cannon ball is stil lodged into the wall of the old church from the war. And while were there go mud riding in the swamps and fields down there. Trick some gators by tieing a string to a fish and pulling it as he tries to bite it till he gets pissed and tries to chase you, that sounds odd but its for photographic purposes, the pictures you can get are amazing from low angles. Yea, there is a much better part of the trace that is hidden. Point is if you ever in the area all you got to do is hollar and someone will invite you in like your family. We know no strangers....well maybe cause they don't get no stranger then us,.. but anyways, heck we would even get on our bikes and ride the whole trace with you to keep you company than turn around and ride home and call it a good day. Take care now, ya hear.

[@ridetofood]

right on!

[@CharlesCromwell-xo9vi]

Quick Question !! Did you by Any chance Mark The Gas Stations Stops along the Trace ??

[@ridetofood]

I marked a few I think. there are none along the trace. only near it.

[@arie407]

i've been to your fantastic country four times for vacation (rented a motorhome) , i liked the people and the nature . the only thing i didn't like was the food.( probably because i am a european snob.) Is was fat and greasy and a lot , but it lacked real taste.

[@ridetofood]

You can find food that suits your tastebuds if you try hard enough 👍🥩🥦🧄

[@brucegerken1063]

[@ridetofood]

Yep! It's 40 once you get closer to Nashville and the cops are EVERYWHERE.

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.

What’s the best place to ride to food for in Texas that you’ve found?

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.

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.

About 20 years ago I rode the Trace north from Natchez but got stuck behind a big RV and I was soon bored to death. No where to pass and they were going about 40 MPH. I planned to do it in a month or so, but a minor heart attack and a stent cut that plan off. Elvis's birthplace was a really cool place to visit.

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!
