Herman Baker Park Trail

You are right. Alot of my best childhood memories are of that place. I am stationed in Iraq right now and cant wait to get home and just take a nice walk around the lake...Same here. I am 29 stationed in Iraq, I don't know how many times I have fished hiked and slid down the dam. I have a picture hanging up here of my grandfather standing by the lake holding a small mouth bass. A lot of my best memories growing up took place at that small oasis....Same as Armando...My mom used to take us and have picnics and we would get boxes and just slide down the hills. It's so pretty there. Just dont go at night...... |
Pennington Creek

You certainly want to come when the water is up and flowing. A lot of walking and carrying your boat otherwise. The bottom is very rocky and uneven, and the creek gets wide in several spots. With the water at the current Level (06-21-2008) you will not be able to paddle through most of the creek. Devil Den, Slippery Falls, or pennington falls, all are to shallow to paddle. These are the areas that have the larger rapids when the creek is up and flowing. So they are also the places that the bottom sticks up the highest and hinders your paddle when the water is down.A great place to put in is Camp Bond it is five miles North of Tishomingo. They do have cabins and rv hook ups there. A path right up to the creek with a zip line going across and snack shack right by the water. You can take out just above the golf course at the low bridge, there are several houses there just north of the golf course the bridge is on the North side. Just before the damn. This run is about 4.5 miles maybe 5 on the outside. ... |
