| Located in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, Tishomingo State Park is steeped in history & 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 & 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 & fern-filled crevices found nowhere else in Mississippi. Massive boulders blanketed in moss dot the hillsides, & colorful wildflowers border trails once walked by Native Americans. |
