🎉 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.

What a fantastic Day 2 of Junior Ranger Camp at Pickett State Park! 🌲☀️

Our Junior Rangers had an action-packed day full of outdoor adventure and hands-on learning. They enjoyed canoeing and boating on Pickett Lake, learned the basics of fire building using flint and steel under close supervision, practiced essential knot-tying skills, and hiked to Hazard Cave where they discovered fascinating critters like salamanders and crawfish.

To top it all off, everyone cooled off with a swim at our historic CCC beach!

It’s been wonderful watching these young explorers build confidence, learn new outdoor skills, and develop a deeper appreciation for nature.

What a great first day of Junior Ranger Camp at Pickett State Park! 🌲🐻🦉

Our Junior Rangers had a fun-filled day learning about some of Tennessee’s amazing wildlife. They discovered interesting facts about black bears, frogs and toads, and got to meet a corn snake and a prairie kingsnake up close.

One of the biggest highlights was meeting an Eastern Screech Owl and a Barn Owl. A big thank you to Cumberland Mountain State Park for bringing the birds of prey and sharing such a great program with our campers!

The group also enjoyed a short hike through the park and made animal tracks out of clay to take home as a reminder of their day.

We had a wonderful group of campers and are looking forward to another fun day of learning and adventure tomorrow!
