This 520-acre roadside park is tucked away along U.S. 43 in rural Marengo County. Complete with modern campsites, a wading pool, rental pavilions, playground equipment and plenty of green space, Chickasaw State Park is perfect for family gatherings or as a base camp for your Black Belt adventure.

The rural setting of this park provides ample opportunity to slow down and observe your surroundings. A day spent wildlife watching along the park’s perimeter will likely pay off in several white-tailed deer, Bobwhite quail, and Eastern wild turkey sightings.

In addition to wildlife watching, Chickasaw’s birding is particularly good during the migration seasons. As a stop on Alabama’s Black Belt Birding Trail, you’ll you encounter a wide variety of birds including northern flickers, white-eyed vireos, indigo buntings, ruby-crowned kinglets, palm warblers and many more.
