The Birdsong Hollow stop on the Natchez Trace Parkway is the first official stop you come to when traveling south from the Parkway’s northern starting point (there are some no-name parking lots prior to it). As long as the National Park Service keeps the vegetation trimmed, you can get a decent view of a double-arch bridge that spans Birdsong Hollow. If you want a photo, be sure to visit in the evening when the sun is illuminating the bridge from the west. If you visit in the morning when the sun is shining from the east, you can get a better view from below by taking the Historic Franklin / Hwy 96 exit on the south end of the bridge
