Overview

About

As one of four parks facing possible closure, the fate of Chickasaw State Park is currently hanging in the balance. Nothing is set in stone yet, so be sure to check on the park's website for the most up to date information. This area's virtue lies in its ample wildlife watching and peaceful wading pool. Grab your binoculars and keep an eye out for Bobwhite quails and wild turkeys. Whether you're looking to roast up some BBQ in the pit, or just chill under the shade of some trees, Chickasaw State Park knows how to do relaxation right. With Alabama's Rural Heritage Center nearby as well as the Black Belt Nature & Heritage Trail, we have a feeling a couple pit stops will be in order.
