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.
