🐻 A sweet wildlife moment at Pickett CCC Memorial State Park!

Our staff recently spotted a mother black bear and her three cubs enjoying the sassafras trees. Bears are especially fond of sassafras berries, and it's always a treat to witness these natural behaviors from a safe distance.

If you're lucky enough to encounter a bear while visiting, remember to admire them from afar, never approach or feed them, and give them plenty of space—especially a mother with cubs.

We love sharing moments like these that remind us just how wild and special Pickett truly is!

The weather forecast for tonight's night sky program does not look good. It will be 80-100% cloud cover. Rangers will be at the field but it is unlikely that we will see anything tonight. Please note that we will be scheduleing additional night sky programs at least monthly. Thank you.

🎉 Congratulations to Ranger Ashlyn Liner! 🎉

Today, June 19, 2026, we are proud to congratulate Ranger Ashlyn Liner on graduating from the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy!

Ashlyn has already become a valued member of the Pickett CCC Memorial State Park team, and we are grateful to have her serving our visitors and protecting our natural resources.

In an extraordinary achievement, Ashlyn recorded the fastest female time in the history of the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy on the Emergency Vehicle Operations Course (EVOC). This remarkable accomplishment is a testament to her dedication, discipline, and exceptional driving skills.

Please join us in congratulating Ranger Liner on this outstanding milestone. We are incredibly proud of her accomplishments and look forward to all she will achieve throughout her career with Tennessee State Parks.
