Pickwick Landing State Park is a state park in Pickwick Dam, Hardin County, Tennessee, in the southeastern United States around the Pickwick Lake impoundment of the Tennessee River. It is named for Pickwick Landing, a 19th-century riverboat stop.
The park was created in 1969 when the State of Tennessee purchased the town of Pickwick Village from the Tennessee Valley Authority.[1]
The park contains a golf course, a 119-room inn, ten cabins, two campgrounds, two picnic pavilions, a restaurant called The Captain's Galley and a marina. The main campground has 48 sites, each equipped with a picnic table, grill and utility hookups. The other, Bruton Branch Campground, has 33 sites.[2]
