Greeting all, the wife and i are planninga ride down the trace in may. Anyone have any suggestions on were to stop and stay along the route. We are planning a 5 day trip.

 

I have done the ride two times north to south, as the others say VERY NICE RELAXING RIDE. But don't get in a hurry. Some of the others riding with me one time got bored and was ready to get off after a few hours, but I enjoyed it. No billboards, no trucks, no stop lights, just peaceful riding with great scenery. The second trip I went alone.

At the north end eat at Loveless Cafe,(this is right at the north end within a half mile) its an old cafe and motel from the 40's good food, nice stop. The motel is closed and now has gift shops or something.

I stayed at Tupelo the first night and Natchez the second night. I ate at a small joint on top of the hill above the casino called mama Tamales, I think that was the name. The HD dealer in Jackson said they ride down on day rides and eat there. Good Food.

Stop at the welcome center at the park and they have a nice map with all gas stops and small towns close to the trace.
