Yockanookany
This trailhead is the northern terminus of the Yockanookany Section of the
Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail. This trailhead is open to hikers only.
From this trailhead, the southern terminus at West Florida Boundary is about
26 miles away. To access the trailhead from the parking area walk south
from the parking area several hundred feet until you see the
Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail sign on your right.

Yockanookany section of the Natchez Trace National Scenic Trail is the
longest of the five developed trail sections at 26 miles. Eight miles run
alongside the Ross R. Barnett Reservoir, and the other sixteen miles go through
dense forests, seasonal streams and open pastureland.

There is a lot to see on this stretch of trail; many sites are accessible via short
side trails (you may have to cross the parkway). The trail parallels the parkway
roadbed; use caution at all times, especially at bridge crossings,
where you must walk along the Parkway road.
