The southern end of the Natchez Trace Parkway runs from Clinton through quiet pine and hardwood country near Port Gibson. It passes the Rocky Springs townsite, short walks to sunken sections of the original trace, and Mount Locust, one of the last surviving inns from the old trail. The segment ends at the road to Emerald Mound, one of the largest Native American ceremonial mounds in the country.
