Boulder Garden

Mississippi > Tishomingo

Description

Excellent bouldering just inside the entrance of the park. The Boulder Garden rock is sandstone shaded by a mix of hardwood and coniferous trees right next a very peaceful stream. It just doesn't get much better than this. The climbs are up to 15 feet high and include face, crack, slab, and even overhanging roofs.

Getting There

Located just inside the entrance of Tishomingo State Park. Park in the small lot left of the entrance of the ranger station. The trail is clearly marked and located across the street. Bouldering opportunities are available within 100 yards.
