Many people do not like to rough it out in the wilderness - that is why places such as Chickasaw State Park are so popular. Visitors there can walk on one of three trails.
Hikers run across countless squirrels, bugs and an occasional deer.
Chickasaw is open year-round. Swimming and boating run from Memorial Day to Labor Day. Boating is available on the weekends throughout September. There is no admission fee to the park. Chickasaw is about 18 miles south of Jackson.
