The view from the top is very nice and it is a piece of Native American culture that you don;t usually hear about. The informational sign at the bottom includes a small arrow that states, "You are invited to the top." How much more polite does that get? I felt it would be rude to decline the invitation and I...

We were there this past weekend with a family flying a kite. Take a picnic lunch and enjoy this unique Indian Mound.

This is an interesting and informative stop along the Natchez Trace. Short walk, and a nice little exercise before you get into Natchez if you are coming in from the north...or be sure to not miss it if you are headed up the Trace!

A Wonderful "field trip". It was inspiring. Makes you wonder how they did it! Good to See for a fourth grader who just studied the Mississippian and Natchez Indians. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It really does not take more than 30 minutes to visit the mound and walk around the site. It only a short piece off the Natchez... More

Our daughter begged us to stop and climb the Mound. It is amazing how the Natchez Indians created this site. A nice way to stretch the legs when driving the Natchez Trace.

If you're touring Natchez proper it's a little out of the way. Definitely off the beaten path. If you know about mounds and what they mean this could be an awe inspiring experience for you. If not, well, bring a kite or a frisbee.

We stopped there on a family outing. My kids and husband enjoyed climbing and I took pics of them. My husband enjoys history and teaching the girls about it.
