Pickwick Landing State Park

About Pickwick Landing State Park

Pickwick Landing has been a stopover for riverboats since the 1840s, but the place was chosen in the 1930s during the Depression because of its proximity to the Ohio River and its natural beauty.

TVA transferred the property to the Tennessee State Park System in the early 1970s. What makes the park today was once the Pickwick Landing Power Plant, a major Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) power plant.

Back then, inns, cabins, a marina and a picnic hut were built, and today Pickwick Landing is one of the most visited parks in the system.
