Gas, Water and Markets
Listed below are locations on or near the Natchez Trace Parkway where drinking water and local markets are available. Restroom facilities are provided by the National Park Service about every twenty miles or so. In addition, the list includes local markets located within a few miles or less of the parkway.
Please note that some of these markets may not always be open or may no longer exist. If you discover that one is no longer available or you find a new water source or market close to the Trace please contact us so we can better inform future cyclists. Markets with gasoline are noted as well.
Distances are measured from where you enter the highway adjacent to the Trace to the market. In an emergency, call the National Park Service at 1-800-300-7275.
