Natchez Bluff Park

A linear park along the bluffs above the Mississippi River, overlooking the great river and the Natchez–Vidalia Bridge. It is one of the best places to watch the sunset.

Natchez Bluff Park runs along the western edge of the city above the loess bluffs, about 60 meters above the Mississippi River. It has walking paths, benches, and gazebos, with distant views of the wide river, the twin Natchez–Vidalia bridges crossing it, and the Louisiana plains on the far side. At sunset, locals and visitors gather here. It is also part of the Natchez Trails urban walking network. The park is close to downtown and the visitor center, is free to enter, and connects to Under-the-Hill Natchez via a ramp.
