I only had time for the section from Natchez to Jackson but enjoyed the visit (drive) tremendously. A very relaxed (50 mph limit) drive on a Sunday morning. We saw about 20 cars in 3 hours but plenty of rolling hills and natural Forrest. We stopped at Emerald Mound and where surprised by its size, snapped pictures of the old, mostly for-walking trace, stopped pretty much at every historical side, and visited Mount Locust. This former residence (1780-1944) became an Inn and way point 1 days hike away from Natchez. The NPS collected many tools from the 1800"s and has them on display. Well worth the stop.
Take your time on the Trace, stop at creeks to cool off, have a picnic, look around, and you will enjoy your ride. You will not be making great time on the trail but you will have a great time.
The National Park service is an outstanding institution and I hate to see how its funding gets undermined
