Pickwick State Park
Pickwick State Park is a state park in western Tennessee.
Pickwick Landing was a riverboat stop dating from the 1840s. In the 1930s, during the Great 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 1970s. 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.
