Reelfoot Lake State Park, 6810 W Highway 21, Tiptonville, TN 38079, US

SpecialtiesTennessee's largest natural lake, 18,000-acre Reelfoot Lake was created by severe earthquakes in 1811 and 1812. This picturesque area is a favorite wintering ground of the American bald eagle. Guided tours to view the majestic birds are offered by park naturalists during the winter months. Located on the Mississippi Flyway, the lake hosts thousands of migrating waterfowl, and has a diversity of other wildlife. Reelfoot's partially submerged forest with its acres of water lilies creates an abundant fish hatchery, making it an ideal spot for fishermen. There are 129 camp sites available along the lake. On the south end of the lake, a visitor's center provides insight into the origin of Reelfoot and its complex ecosystem. Pontoon boat cruises and guided canoe floats are available.
