The Natchez Trace is paved and you share the trail with traffic, although trucks and commercial vehicles are banned from it. There are supposed to be a few short sections of the original dirt trail alongside it in some places, but I don't know if you can ride a bicycle on it. I think it's for horses and hikers. It wouldn't be challenging from a mountain biking point of view, but it's a great road trip if you're into bicycle touring. I did it last year, both directions.
