Pickwick Dam , TN

Entrance sign to the park

I cannot describe how beatiful this really was

This was looking out from our camp site.

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.
