Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Tishomingo State Park is steeped in history and scenic beauty. Archaeological excavations confirm the presence of Paleo Indians in the area now encompassed by the park as early as 7000 B.C.; the park takes its name from the leader of the Chickasaw nation, Chief Tishomingo. The famous Natchez Trace Parkway, the premier highway of the early 1800s and a modern scenic parkway, runs directly through the park. Today's visitors to Tishomingo State Park discover the same timeless natural beauty that enchanted the Indians centuries ago. Tishomingo offers a unique landscape of massive rock formations and fern-filled crevices found nowhere else in Mississippi. Massive boulders blanketed in moss dot the hillsides, and colorful wildflowers border trails once walked by Native Americans.

Bicycling
In the northeastern corner of Mississippi, a park offers several biking trails for various skill levels. Be cautious though.

The Bear Creek Outcropping Trail is 3 miles long and quite challenging due to its steep inclines.

For beginners or families with children, consider the Flat Rock trail which spans just over one mile in length.

Intermediate bikers might enjoy Haynes Lake Loop; it's moderately difficult but only about half a mile long.

Always remember safety first: wear helmets, stay hydrated and respect other users on these shared paths.

Keep an eye out for wildlife while cycling - deer sightings are common here!

Lastly, note that some areas may be closed during certain seasons so always check before you go!
Birding
Located in Mississippi, the park offers birding opportunities with over 138 species identified. It features a variety of habitats such as hardwood forests and rocky outcrops that attract different birds. Birdwatchers can spot warblers, vireos, thrushes during spring migration season. The Bear Creek Nature Trail is ideal for spotting woodland songbirds while Haynes Lake attracts waterfowl and shorebirds.

Visitor Comments, Memories and Reviews
November 5 My Tishomingo Park Visit. by Tanda
park review stars; one to five My husband & I visited the park last week as we were in the area. Park is beautiful as far as the nature, but needs some upkeep. The bathroom we were directed to was in very bad shape, the boat docks were falling down & unuseable. The nature trail really needs work as several of the foot bridges across some ditches have fallen in & rotten. We managed to climb up & down the ditch banks of a few of them as we saw where others had crossed. But we got to one that was really too dangerous for us to cross so we had to turn around & go back. I would think they would have someone checking the nature trail all the time for problems like these but we could tell from looking these foot bridges had been fallen in for awhile not just a week or two. We had been told it was the most beautiful state park in MS but we were not impressed with dis repair & neglected look. Not a place we care to visit again.
