The Atlas/Mississippi/Jeff Busby Site — Little Mountain Overlook

Jeff Busby Site — Little Mountain Overlook

The only true overlook on the Mississippi section of the Natchez Trace Parkway, atop Little Mountain at milepost 193.1. A 0.8-mile trail climbs to 584 ft elevation; on a clear day the view stretches roughly 20 miles across the ridges and valleys of central Mississippi. NPS-managed with restrooms, picnic tables, and an 18-site campground.

Atlas
// Why riders stop

The Trace is 50-mph, commercial-traffic-free riding through forest — this is the natural high point to stop, stretch, and see the landscape. The campground makes it viable as an overnight if riding the full parkway.

Delta Blues Museum
Mississippi
Mississippi's oldest music museum, housed in the 1918 Yazoo & Mississippi Valley Railroad freight depot in downtown Clarksdale. Artifacts, memorabilia, and Muddy Waters' original sharecropper shack from Stovall Plantation fill the exhibits — ground zero for blues history on the Delta.

Doe's Eat Place
Mississippi
A James Beard Foundation 'America's Classic' (2007) that has operated out of the same ramshackle building on Nelson Street since 1941. Customers walk through the kitchen to reach their table; the tamales are Delta-style and the charcoal-seared porterhouses are legendary. Still family-run by the Signa family.
