Booker T. Washington State Park, Recreational state park on Chickamauga Lake in Chattanooga, United States.
The 353-acre Booker T. Washington State Park features three mountain biking trails, floating docks, and an Olympic-sized swimming pool alongside Chickamauga Lake.
African-American units of the Civilian Conservation Corps constructed the park during the Great Depression, serving as one of two Tennessee parks for Black visitors until 1964.
The park honors the legacy of African American educator Booker T. Washington through educational programs and exhibits at the visitor center.
Three picnic shelters accommodate 60 people each, while 30 individual sites include grills and water spigots for outdoor gatherings.
The Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency maintains fish attractors and shoreline access points for catching largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and channel catfish.
