Description
Autumn along the Buffalo River at Metal Ford.
The Buffalo River was a river crossing for frontier travelers along the Old Natchez Trace. Except after heavy rains, it was almost always fordable with depths ranging from ankle to chest deep. Travelers called it Metal Ford because the smooth stone river bottom reminded them of a stone surfaced or “metaled” road of the day. A small section of the Old Trace follows the water here.
Metal Ford is located on the Tennessee portion of the Natchez Trace Parkway at mile marker 382.8.
