Pickwick Lake, Tenessee

About the Area

The  43,100 acre Pickwick Lake is one of the more unique lakes in the entire  South. With its borders spanning across the states of Tennessee,  Mississippi, and Alabama, Pickwick Lake provides an accessible vacation  spot for visitors throughout the Southeast. The Pickwick Reservoir was  completed in 1938 by the Tennessee Valley Authority and stretches some  53 miles creating almost 500 miles of shoreline, eventually ending at  Wilson Dam in Alabama.

Known for  its many coves and inlets, Pickwick provides visitors with an extensive  number of different areas to explore. Only two hours from Memphis,  Tennessee and one hour from Jackson, Tennessee and Tupelo, Mississippi,  Pickwick Lake continues to be an extremely popular location for many  water sport sand activities. Boating, water skiing, wakeboarding,  tubing, swimming, and just taking in the beautiful scenery are some of  the most popular Pickwick Lake pastimes.

Housing  many prize-winning largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, and catfish,  Pickwick Lake is a common stop for many sport fishermen. For those  looking for some outdoor fun, the nearby 1,400 acre Pickwick Lake State  Park provides a golf course, marina, and a hiking trail. There is also  the Pickwick Dam Tailwater Campground near Counce, Tennessee which  offers 95 campsites to visitors. If you are a history buff, Shiloh  National Military Park is only fifteen miles away and is home to the  Shiloh Civil War battlefield, the Shiloh National Cemetery, and the  Shiloh Indian Mound.

One of the  most unique aspects of Pickwick Lake is that it is the beginning of the  famous Tombigbee Waterway. Starting at Pickwick Lake, boaters have an  opportunity to travel 234 miles down the Tennessee River to the  Mississippi River and eventually to the Gulf of Mexico. This has long  been one of the more famous boating routes throughout the United  States. With so much to offer, Pickwick Lake continues to remain a  popular vacation and tourist stop.

There  is a great market for waterfront rental property as well as year-round  home sites at Pickwick. This particular body of water continues to  offer new and appealing lakefront real estate developments as more and  more visitors feel a permanent draw to Pickwick Lake. Whether it is a  weekend retreat,second residence, or a home to retire in, the offerings  at Pickwick Lake will meet your needs.

Whether  you are interested in fishing, hiking, boating around the lake or down  the Tombigbee, Pickwick Lake has something for everyone and will  continue to be one of the most popular lakes in Tennessee and in this  region for years to come.
