| State Park Overview: |
 | Pickwick Landing was a riverboat stop dating from the 1840?s. In the 1930?s, during the depression, the site was chosen for one of the Tennessee Valley Authority's dams on the Tennessee River. What today comprises the park was once the living area for the TVA construction crews and their families. The property passed from TVA to the Tennessee State Park system in the early 1970?s. It was during this time that the inn, cabins, marina and picnic shelters were developed. Today Pickwick Landing is one of the most visited parks in the system. |

| Fishing and Hunting: |
| Fishing at it's finest on the beautiful Kentucky Lake/TN River--some people say that's what it's all about! Imagine more than 100 species scattered over broad expanses of fresh water and lurking in hundreds of secluded coves. Crappie, bass, catfish, sauger, walleye, bluegill, stripes, and more ? they?re singing a siren song just for you. There?s something for everyone, from the expert angler with the fancy gear (some of the biggest tournaments are staged here) to the kid on the bank with a cane pole ? and everywhere in between. There are two fishing piers available.
Valid TN Fishing license required. |
