Chickasaw State Park

Chickasaw State Park is a 520-acre public recreation area located in Marengo County, Alabama, just off U.S. Route 43, about four miles north of Linden. Established in the 1930s by the Civilian Conservation Corps, the park has a rich history tied to the state’s conservation efforts. The park’s name reflects the Chickasaw people, an indigenous group known for their rich cultural heritage. Visitors can enjoy the park's distinctive features, including picnic tables, pavilions, and a playground, all set within a landscape that attracts various wildlife, such as deer, turkey, and birds. At Chickasaw State Park, guests can partake in a range of outdoor activities, including picnicking and camping, with minimal facilities available for the latter. The park is also a designated stop on the Alabama Black Belt Birding Trail, making it a great spot for birdwatchers. Parking is available on-site, but visitors should be prepared for the park's rural setting. As with any outdoor destination, it's advisable to check the weather before your visit. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on hours, fees, and any potential closures, please verify details on the official state site before visiting.
