The park is located just off the Natchez Trace Parkway which in itself,
is a park. Lewis (of Lewis & Clark fame) is buried in the park. My
first stay here was actually Halloween night, but alas, no ghost showed
up. Maybe next year. One very interesting feature of this park;
camping is FREE. I guess thatâ€™s why Iâ€™ve stayed at this park
three timesâ€¦(smile). Anyway, itâ€™s only about a 30 minute drive
southwest of Nashville making it very convenient. I have found this to
be a very "transit" park. Meaning: RV's come for one night, and then
move on; not staying more than one night.

Meriwether Lewis Park is located at milepost 385.9 along the Natchez
Trace Parkway. Lewis' grave is marked by a large monument in the
form of a broken shaft, symbolizing the tragic loss of the great
explorer in the prime of his life. A log cabin replica is located near
the site of the original inn. Two picnic areas, a campground, and
several miles of hiking trails through the hills and along Little Swan
Creek make Meriwether Lewis a highlight of the Trace.
