Great little state park. We went for an eagle fest and were blown away by great presentations and homemade food. We then went for a beautiful walk along the lake and had a tremendous time. Would definitely go again.

Great place for the family to visit. There are several ways to be able to view and enjoy the Lake. The welcome center has eagles and owls that are being rehabilitated. It also tells the history of Reelfoot Lake. In the spring there are deep swamp canoe tours which are great way to see normally unreachable areas of the lake. The canoes do require your manpower but it;s definitely a fun trip. There are also pontoon tours to get a great view of the lake, islands, and wildlife.

Always a Beautiful Mysterious place to visit!! It was Eagle Fest this weekend so it was some what crowded. We enjoyed the animals on display and watching the eagles in their natural habitat. Reelfoot lake is ALWAYS beautiful no matter what time you visit! We will be back soon!!!

I loved coming here! I visited with my family on a vacation and it was great. Ill never forget it. Memories that last a lifetime. My Dad bought us all matching reelfoot lake t shirts with a family of ducks walking across it. My shirt was hot pink, and my sister had picked a blue one and my mom a yellow one and my Dad a white one. Good times 😀👍✔💯🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✌
