Visitors to Tishomingo State Park can discover the same timeless natural beauty that enchanted Native Americans centuries ago.

Rock climbing is available by permit. Canoe trips and fishing are available on Bear Creek. Haynes Lake, a 45 acre fresh water lake, is available for fishing.
A day-use entry fee is charged for all day-use visitors. Day-use entrance fees are collected at the gatehouse. Entrance $4 and $.50 per person over 6 people.
The park offers 62 RV campsites, primitive campsite area, 6 cabins, 1 cottage, and a group camp facility. The campground is wooded and follows the edge of Haynes Lake.
