Natchez Trace Parkway, Tishomingo State Park

Natchez Trace Parkway runs from Mississippi through Alabama and into Tennessee. We stopped when it entered Tennessee. It reminded us of the Blue Ridge Parkway. We drove in the car, not the motorhome.

At the beginning of the drive we decided to stop at Tishomingo State Park. This is an old park that at one time was a very nice park with a large swimming pool, large playing field and lots of nice picnic areas. They also had a small lodge with kitchen included that at one time was used for large group events for an all day event or evening event. No sleeping facilities. But it appears that over time this place has lost its appeal, probably due to the updated water related facilities around the TomBigbee Waterway. Unfortunately I somehow deleted most of the pictures, so not too many of the State Park or Natchez Trace Parkway.

Are you sure we can walk over this?

Its got duct tape, should be fine.

Well, its a short drop.

Example of signage along Natchez Trace Parkway. Very much like the Blue Ridge Parkway in the way this is designed and all the trees along the Parkway. Unfortunately misplaced the rest of the pictures.
