About Pickwick Lake

Pickwick Lake is a 43,100-acre reservoir created by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and stretches from Pickwick Landing Dam in Tennessee to the Mississippi River. The construction of Pickick Lake Reservoir took four years, from 1934 to 1938. In addition to the lake of the same name, it also extends at Wilson Dam, Alabama, at a depth of 1.5 miles.

The coast of Pickick Reservoir is dotted with a number of upscale residential developments, with a number of high-end hotels, restaurants, bars, hotels and restaurants.

The normal summer swimming pool is 414 feet above sea level, but the TVA has lowered the water level to 410 feet. Today, Pickwick Lake has a coastline of more than 496 miles, including about 85 miles on the island's coast. The name "Pickwick" dates back to the 18th century, when the Post Office called it "Pickwick," alluding to its location at the mouth of the river.

If you are an avid angler, Pickwick Lake is an ideal holiday destination, but you need to focus mainly on the fishing and boating side of the lake, not the recreational side. The price - successful preparation requires a lot of time, effort and patience, but also a lot of luck.

Boat rentals, including a regular boat, small boat or smaller boat with ramp, are available at the marina at Pickick's Lake, as well as a number of smaller boats for $10 per day.
