Natchez Trace Journey - Day 4 - Tishomingo State Park

Tishomingo State Park is a public recreation area that was established in 1935. The park is located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in Tishomingo County, some 45 miles northeast of Tupelo, Mississippi. The major feature of the park is Bear Creek Canyon and its generous sandstone outcroppings. Activities in the park include canoeing, rock climbing, fishing, and hiking. The park sits at Milepost 304 of Natchez Trace Parkway, a scenic road operated by the National Park Service commemorating the historical Natchez Trace. The park was among those constructed in Mississippi by the Civilian Conservation Corps in the 1930s. CCC Company 3497 began work creating the park in April 1935; the park opened to the public in May 1939. Many of the original facilities are extant, including several buildings, trails, picnic tables, campgrounds, cabins and a fishing pond used by the CCC workers themselves. The rustic quality of the CCC structures resulted from the use of native materials, their original designs, and the craftsmanship of the builders. While most of the facilities in Mississippi were built of wood, Tishomingo and Wall Doxey state parks feature substantial use of stone construction. Tishomingo State Park offers visitors seven hiking trails that range in length from ¾ to 3 miles and in difficulty from easy to moderate. The trails feature scenic natural springs, waterfalls, rocky creeks and streams, cliffs, rock walls and huge outcrops. The terrain suggests mountains, and indeed this is a part of the Appalachian range, but the hills here are no higher than about 660 feet. Rock climbing, which requires a helmet and a free permit (available at the park office), is a popular activity on the trails, particularly at the formation known as Jean's Overhang. Bear Creek is encountered at a number of points by the trail system, and can itself be explored by canoe on one of the float trips offered here. Three popular disc golf courses are available, and an Olympic-sized outdoor swimming pool is open during late spring and summer. The park provides a number of lodging options including 15 primitive campsites, two primitive Scout campsites, 62 developed RV campsites, which offer water and electricity, and seven furnished cabins. The park's Nature Center, which re-opened in 2016, offers displays of Tishomingo county heritage, nature, art, animals, arrowheads and memorabilia from the Civilian Conservation Corps. The park is named for one of the last great Chickasaw leaders, Chief Tishu Miko, born not far from the park in Lee County, Mississippi, around 1735. Modern Chickasaw occasionally make pilgrimage to the park to visit the areas where the famous Chief fished and hunted. The park's importance to Native American history extends even beyond the historical Chickasaw Nation, as archaeological excavations confirm the presence of Paleo Indians in the area now encompassed by the park as early as 7000 B.C. The ancient tribes were able to produce excellent tools from the high-quality chert and limestone that was available here, and ceramic pottery from clay dug from the hills. This is one of, if not, the best state parks that Mississippi has to offer. From the beautiful lake surrounded by shady camping spots, the miles of scenic trails, fishing, canoeing, to the old school playgrounds, there is something for everyone who loves the great outdoors. #tishomingo #park #mississippi 0:00 Intro 0:28 Frontier Cabin 3:57 Cascading Waterfall 7:06 Driving Around 7:30 Nature Museum, Lodge & Pool 8:35 Swinging Bridge 11:20 Fork in the Trail 12:42 Appalachian Foothills 15:15 Yellow Trail 15:58 Waterfall 19:42 Top of the Cliff 21:48 Indian Markings? 23:55 Waterfall No2 24:38 More Indian Things? 25:39 Massive Rock Overhang 28:41 Conclusion 29:35 Slideshow –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Purple Dream by Ghostrifter Official https://bit.ly/ghostrifter-sc Creative Commons — Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported — CC BY-SA 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://bit.ly/3Cn2faB Music promoted by Audio Library    • Purple Dream – Gh...   –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––– Song: Inukshuk - Too Far Gone [NCS Release] Music provided by NoCopyrightSounds Free Download/Stream: http://ncs.io/TooFarGone Watch:    • Inukshuk - Too Far Gone | Electronic Pop |...
