Chickasaw State Park

Chickasaw State Park was named for the Chickasaw people who once inhabited West Tennessee and North Mississippi. The 1,400 acres of land located in West Tennessee was one of Tennessee’s 20 New Deal-era state parks. The territory became a state park in 1955 when all park duties returned to state control, and the park and forest lands were deeded to the state. The park is situated on some of the highest terrain in west Tennessee. Chickasaw State Park offers more than four miles of easy to moderate hiking trails and bicycle-friendly roads. Guests can utilize the rowboats and pedal boats available for rent on Lake Placid.
