Tishomingo State Park
Just beyond Donivan Slough, the parkway crosses the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway, a
shortcut for commercial shipping between the Tennessee River and the Gulf of Mexico.

in Mississippi. The park's steep hills, which are in fact the westernmost extension of the
Appalachian Mountains, make for so many bluffs, waterfalls, and rocky ridges that one

park offers an eight-mile canoe trip along Bear Creek, past high sandstone bluffs and over
rocky rapids.
