Nestled along the back roads of Tishomingo County, this park feels like a second home. With hiking…read moretrails for every level of experience, there's truly something for everyone. The campground offers over 60 sites, plus six cozy cabins. Three of these are rustic stone cabins with two rooms each, while the other three are smaller, single-room cabins. Cabin Six has been beautifully updated with new floors, furniture, appliances, and a modern bathroom. For larger groups, the park also has three group camp cabins--each with 20 bunk beds and spacious bathrooms that include showers, toilets, and sinks. The park is full of history and adventure. Visitors can explore the Pioneer Cabin and its nearby waterfall, or cross the famous swinging bridge--a suspension bridge that stretches 25 feet over Bear Creek. On the other side, you'll find two trails perfect for bouldering, rock climbing, or simply wandering through the forest. Wildlife is abundant, with deer, squirrels, raccoons, and plenty of other critters calling the park home. There are three scenic pavilions for picnics or gatherings. Pavilion One has restrooms nearby, Pavilion Two overlooks Haines Lake, and Pavilion Three also offers a beautiful view of the water. The dining hall is available for weddings, reunions, meetings, and other special events. Fishing enthusiasts will love the three fishing spots: Haines Lake, a quiet pond behind the Pioneer Cabin, and Bear Creek beneath the swinging bridge. For families, the park includes two playgrounds, a sports field, and plenty of picnic tables with cast-iron grills scattered throughout. Outdoor fun continues with three disc golf courses designed for different skill levels. And when it's time to clean up, the campground features two bathhouses that are always kept tidy by the hardworking park staff. Tishomingo State Park is more than just a destination--it's a place where history, nature, and community come together.

Pickwick Landing State Park is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes from my home in Nashville, and…read moreis located in Counce, Tennessee. It has 1,400+ acres, fishing, boating, a marina, 10 cabins, camping, a lodge, a restaurant, a swimming pool, a golf course, a three mile paved trail, three small swimming beaches, an aviary, a butterfly garden, and a visitors center and gift shop. The town surrounding this area was originally called Pickwick, after Dickens' The Pickwick Papers. This was the spot of a riverboat stop in the 1840s. The lake was named Pickwick Lake. During Roosevelt's New Deal, this was the site of a new dam, named Pickwick Dam. The 53 mile long dam was completed in 1938. In 1969, the city was purchased by the state of Tennessee to become a new state park. The state park opened in 1972. This whole area is gorgeous and has a lot of water recreation, so if you're a fisher or swimmer, this park is for you. There's not much in the way of untamed wilderness, but this park is absolutely chocked full of amenities that's sure to please every member of the family.

There is an addition of 25 acres to be cleared and used for the park expansion with a $5.3 million budget (parking lot, and more ball fields, dressing rooms and bathrooms). It was said that it is justified by the amount of tourism dollars it'll bring in...ha! I know if I go to other states or towns I go just so I can play on their ball fields in the searing heat. God forbid they build a climbing wall or add some water features to cool off in or an outdoor theater for movies or entertaining the family as a WHOLE instead of catering to kid sports. To Each Their Own. Several decades ago, when I was a kid, there was an aluminum jet body and a couple varying height slides where the main pavilion is. Many, many, many kids have skinned themselves climbing into it and my goodness at the seared skin from sitting in that seat after it had baked in the sun. There were car shows held in and on the park grounds every year, but now the car club seems to divide its time between Arby's and Dairy Queen parking lots. This is not the greatest all around park for everyone, but it is beautiful in the Summertime with the green trees. Speaking of trees, there may not be very many left in a few years, seems to be missing one or two a year from rot or damage of some sort. There is one twisty rooted tree that I enjoy photographing. This park covers around 40 acres and there are oodles of ball fields (at least 6), 10 tennis courts now (if they replace the old courts with more tennis then it will seem somewhat of a waste for me. I have not seen a single tennis player ANY time of the day that I have been on the premises. There is a 1-mile asphalt walking/jogging trail that winds through the trees. This park is located next to train tracks and it isn't pleasant or relaxing when it rolls through, you turn up the music or just grit your teeth and wait it out. There is a soccer field, batting cages (not the high end pay-to-bat style with a machine spitting balls at you, but a toss it in the air and hit it style), 3 picnic pavilions, bathroom facilities in each end of the park. This park is NOT pet friendly. NO DOGS, NO SKATEBOARDS... I don't have a dog, but I thought the old tennis court site would've made an ideal dog park.

Of course, who can forget we tout Shiloh National Military Park, Pickwick State Park, and lots of other historical and newer meanderings if you're so inclined. But the Tennessee Street Park is as fun as parks get; it's mostly fenced in with attractive fencing; water features for the kiddies on hot days, jungle gyms interspersed around with springform playing/walking surfaces connecting. Covered picnic areas are available, and an acre or two surrounded by large old shade trees complete the scene. So when you come visit, be sure and behold Savannah's iconic historical district showcasing beautiful and well-kept period homes. Drive north along the Tennessee River to Saltillo, a quaint town where you can shop at our art gallery; our chic upscale boutique that maintains bridal and baby registries; our antique store. Of course you'll be hungry, so dine in or take out at our famous Mexican Restaurant where folks from Jackson and even Memphis make the trek to come eat or just to enjoy a mixed drink. Our convenience store also serves up hot deli food and cold drinks. After all that touring, shopping, and eating, wind down at our Bed and Breakfast! We have a licensed Barber and hair stylist, so get that cut you've wanted right here. And all this within walking distance of the river. Yes folks Saltillo is back on the map. Driving southward again, see more sights and go shopping in Savannah! Then keep driving southward to Pickwick Lake. Campgrounds, rental homes, boats, you name it. You cannot say you've visited unless you include a day or an afternoon at the somber grounds of Shiloh where both the Blue and the Grey fought hard for two bloody days. Shiloh is consistently rated as one of the best National Military Parks in the country. So come and visit us! Hardin County has it! Back to the Tennessee Street Park, come and see! It's just another wonderful reason to come and see what we have to offer!

I sit in a little picnic area as I write this, enjoying not only the scenery that surrounds me and the calming sound of the waterfall, but the calmness that this park evoked within me, a realization how brilliant the gift of life truly is.

There's over 30 miles of trails, including the Azalea Spring Day Loop (2.95 mi), the Big Hill Pond Access Trail (0.30 mi), the Big Hill Pond Trail (4.75 mi), the Dogwood Point Trail (3.10 mi), the Dry Ridge Trail (2.85 mi), the Fox Hollow Trail (.65 mi), the Horse (& Mtn Bike) Trail (6.0 mi), the Rocky Knob Trail (2.40 mi), the Turkey Call Trail (2.45 mi), and the Tuscumbia Trail (2.30 mi).
