Pickett Civilian Conservation Corps Memorial State Park
Pickett Civilian Conservation Corps Memorial State Park, State park and International Dark Sky Park in Pickett County, Tennessee, US.
The 19,200-acre wilderness features natural rock formations, caves, natural bridges, and dense forest within the Cumberland Mountains region.
The Civilian Conservation Corps constructed hiking trails, lodges, cabins, and facilities between 1934 and 1942 using locally quarried sandstone.
The park stands as a testament to the New Deal program that employed young men during the Great Depression era.
The park maintains 32 campsites with electric and water hookups, plus 20 rental cabins equipped with modern amenities and kitchen facilities.
Hazard Cave houses rare glow worms that emit blue light, visible throughout the year with peak brightness in early June.
