"Today on our journey up the Natchez Trace Parkway from Natchez, Mississippi to Nashville, Tennessee we are visiting several sites outside of Columbia, Tennessee that pertain to the Duck River.
"At the Jackson Falls exhibit there are two trails. The one to the right is the steeper, a 900 foot trail that takes visitors to a clear pool at the base of the Jackson Waterfalls. These falls were named for Andrew Jackson, a frequent traveler of the Trace between his home in Nashville and the territories of Mississippi and Louisiana. The stream that feeds this water fall is Jackson Branch and flows into the Duck River.
"The other trail at this exhibit is to the left and carries visitors a quarter of a mile to BAKER BLUFF, which overlooks the Duck River. At the Baker Bluff Overlook the park service has placed an exhibit that describes the flow of life giving water, and discusses the need for clean water.
"Join us on our next program when we will get a much closer look at the Duck River and visit the GORDON, HOUSE AND FERRY SITE where early travelers crossed the Duck River. For Natchez Trace a road through the wilderness, I'm Frank Thomas."
