Our mission is to conserve and sustain the natural integrity and the scenic beauty of the Hatchie State Scenic River and its watershed.
Hatchie River Conservancy
The mission of Fort Pillow State Historic Park is to “protect and preserve unique examples of natural, cultural, and scenic areas and provide a variety of quality outdoor experiences through a well-planned and well-managed system”.
The Tennessee State Parks' mission is to preserve, protect, and share Tennessee’s natural and cultural resources while providing safe, quality outdoor experiences. The vision is to have a thriving system of state parks that engages, enriches, and inspires every Tennessean1. The Tennessee State Parks Conservancy supports education, health, and access programs that preserve, protect, and enhance Tennessee’s natural areas and parks system. The state park system promotes stronger communities and healthier citizens across the state through diverse resource-based recreation while conserving the natural environment for today and tomorrow
Chickasaw State Park was named for the Chickasaw Tribe who once inhabited West Tennessee and North Mississippi. The 1,400 acres of land located in West Tennessee along the border of Hardeman and Chester Counties was one of Tennessee’s 20 New Deal-era state parks. The territory became a state park in 1955 when all park duties returned to state control, and the park and forest lands were deeded to the state.
The 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. Chickasaw State Park offers various activities for visitors to embark on including more than four miles of easy to moderate hiking trails and bicycle-friendly roads. Guests can utilize the rowboats and pedal boats available for rent on Lake Placid.
National wildlife refuges offer us all a chance to unplug from the stresses of daily life and reconnect with our natural surroundings. You may enjoy watching waterfowl from the viewing tower that overlooks flooded agricultural fields in the winter, or just driving through the quiet roads which lead to the Mississippi River during the summer. If you have a kayak or canoe, you can glide over the still waters of Champion Lake or Sunk Lake. In today’s hustle and bustle world, experiencing quietness and simply enjoying nature goes a long way.
The Mission of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency is to preserve, conserve, manage, protect, and enhance the fish and wildlife of the state and their habitats for the use, benefit, and enjoyment of the citizens of Tennessee and its visitors. The Agency will foster the safe use of the state's waters through a program of law enforcement, education, and access.
