- 1 Northern Terminus — Nashville Mile 444 — the Trace begins in the wooded hills south of Nashville. The parkway was authorized by Congress in 1938, following the path of the original wilderness road.
- 2 Double Arch Bridge A modern engineering landmark — two graceful concrete arches carry the Trace 155 feet above a valley. It was the first segmentally constructed concrete arch bridge in the United States.
- 3 Leipers Fork A charming hamlet just off the Trace where Nashville songwriters retreat to write. Puckett's Grocery serves up country cooking and live music most evenings.
- 4 Meriwether Lewis Monument — Milepost 385.9 The explorer died here under mysterious circumstances in 1809. His grave and a reconstructed inn mark the spot where one of America's greatest adventurers met his end.
- 5 Jackson Falls — Milepost 404.7 A short trail descends to a 30-foot waterfall. The limestone bluff sheltered travelers on the old Trace for thousands of years.
- 6 Colbert Ferry — Tennessee River George Colbert, a Chickasaw chief, operated a ferry here that Andrew Jackson himself used. The Tennessee River crossing marked the boundary of Chickasaw territory.
- 7 Freedom Hills Overlook — Milepost 317 The highest point on the Trace in Alabama at 800 feet. The rolling hills give way to the Black Belt prairies of Mississippi ahead.
- 8 Pharr Mounds — Milepost 286.7 Eight ancient burial mounds built between 1 and 200 AD. The Woodland-period earthworks are among the largest ceremonial sites in the Southeast.
