    Driver on cell ENTIRE time!
    Tina O.

    Beautiful park...well maintained for the most part...no scattered litter, grass cut, etc...they have a few scattered feed stations around the pond for 25cents if you want to feed the ducks...the waterfall is a great photo opportunity...carousel working, roller coaster working, train working and all reasonable in cost...so why am I giving it 3 stars?: Restaurant on site closed on a Friday at noon, snow cone concession closed, and most of all the train driver was on his cell phone the whole time...I guess it's no big deal as long as the kids dont run out in front of the train. I am sure that would never happen!! I personally dont feel comfortable on anything moving where the driver is on his phone...

    Tuscumbia, Alabama. Where history and poverty meet. Birthplace of Helen Keller. Per capita income, $18,000. It's in this setting that I love introducing people to Spring Park. We turn the corner by ColdWater Books and overlook the park. The reaction is usually something like, "What the crap." Plus a few expletives. It's like you've stumbled upon the elves' workshop in the vast arctic north. All that's missing is Santa, strapping his suspenders around his bloated, jiggling belly. There's quite a bit of history to Spring Park going back some 200 years and including Jimmy Carter's announcement to run for President. Today it's a thing of beauty. You could easily spend the day here exploring the area. There is an incredible water fountain with 20 or 30 spouts that light up and are choreographed to music every night during Spring and Summer. It's like something out of Las Vegas - really incredible. There's the world's largest man made waterfall. An absolutely astounding American Indian carved out of a giant tree. Petrified tree stumps. Two awe-inspiring paddle wheels in the lake. A train which runs around the entire park. Visitors can ride it. A full size, functioning carousel. Roller coaster. The list goes on. And I haven't even mentioned the beautiful scenery. Gorgeous flowers, massive trees, ducks and geese... I just called my pastor and told him I found the Garden of Eden. He dropped the f-bomb, then hung up on me. I'm lucky to live just a couple of blocks away, and I visit here often. Usually with my dog. It's really a neat place. I would even put this above Helen Keller's birthplace as a "must see" for Tuscumbia.

    I studied about Helen Keller in grade school here in Alabama but it wasn't until an episode of South Park, in which the kids are putting on 'Th Miracle Worker' that I began to appreciate who she was. Ironic, yes? So it was with great pleasure that I finally visited her birthplace here in Tuscambia and I'm glad I did. Ivy Green, as it is called, is a beautiful gounds with 150 year old English Boxwoods, Magnolia..a FIG tree even! Just like the one I had in my yard growing up. The house sits in the middle of this spledor, looking much like it did in 1820! The tour is informative and full of many stories unknown to me. Aah! The furniture and antiques are 85% original..my favorite? The Sugar Chest in the dining room which was appraised on the Antique Road Show for $18,000!! Oh, heck, I love all things old, who am I kidding? Everything has been lovingly restored/preserved and there is much see and read on this great woman. There's the cottage next door where she was born, the beautiful herb garden, th cook's quarters/kitchen and the famous pump..ah yes, the pump..sorry, I started singing the South Park song "Water, she said water'! while standing there..but just for a minute. For $5.00 admission, it is definitely worth a visit.

    This is my experience as someone who came here just to hike. The trails are great! They are not…read moreovergrown and the trail markers are bright and large! I would appreciate some wood signs discerning the junctions from one another. There are several social trails that will mislead you and could easily be fixed with a social trail sign or caution tape. I color coded the map attached to this review to show my route. I parked at the trailhead for the fitness trail. I walked the pink line to the museum and walked the yellow line back. Once I took a break, I did the green line. Due to poor planning I didn't realize the bike trail wasn't a loop and so I didn't intend to do two there and back hikes I'm not sure why it's not a loop as it could likely be connected from where it ends at the amphitheater to the 0.40 mile mark on the part of the bike trail headed straight to the museum... The visitor center/museum can be walked to from the bike trail. It's got information and artifacts from David Crockett's life and stuff. They also have several birds of prey outside that you can view anytime. The park rangers are very friendly and helpful when kids want to learn about the birds.

    Stayed here for one night camping in hammocks. We actually got an tv spot because we were on the…read moreHarleys and it was a good place to park and also the bathhouse. Extremely clean park and the facilities were excellent. Will stay again if in the area.

    Beautiful park. Stayed in cabin 6. Updated and well kept. Doesn't feel like Mississippi at all here.read more

    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.
