On the way to our place on the Buffalo River we pass this great park. This is a view of Lake Placid just down from the lodge. Isn't this foot bridge pretty?
Chickasaw State Rustic Park is situated on some of the highest terrain in west Tennessee. Of the area's 14,384 acres of timberland, 1,280 acres are used for recreation. The remainder is state forest managed jointly by the State Forestry Division and the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The park is located in Chester and Hardeman Counties, 18 miles south of Jackson, Tennessee on State Hwy. 100.
Rowboats and dreamboats are available for rent on Lake Placid. No personally owned boats or gasoline powered motors are allowed on the lake. However, electric trolling motors are allowed. Fishermen, young and old, enjoy the lake and often dine on fine catches of bass and bluegill.
We headed on toward Middle Tennessee, stopping for a brief visit in Linden, Tennessee, where they were celebrating the season with the annual Bloomin' Arts Festival at the town square. Folks set up booths to display and sell all sorts of arts and crafts. There was music and food. One vendor told me that she had seen "everyone in Linden" at her place. It wrapped up at about 5 pm and we headed on to Lobelville, Tennessee, for more festivities!
