Description
Metal Ford - Buffalo River - Natchez Trace by Debra Martz
Mile Marker 382: This area of the Buffalo River was known as Metal Ford for its metal-like, smooth stoned river bottom. It made crossings easier with this solid bottom and water depths averaged between ankle-high to chest deep. The current from this particular channel off the river fed Steele's Iron Works in the early 1800s.
The Natchez Trace is a National Parkway that is 444 miles from Natchez, MS to Nashville, TN. But you can travel it either direction and get on or off at many exits along the way. It's a beautiful drive filled with historical stops and very leisurely which is difficult to find in the way of travel anymore. The speed limit ranges from 40-50mph on a two-highway. PS: Don't plan to drive it in a day....grab a guide book and stop often to enjoy the history, trails and views!
