Paris Landing State Park is an 841 acre park located on the western shore of the Tennessee River, which is dammed to form Kentucky Lake (160,000 acres). The park sits on the widest part of the lake (3 miles wide) and is the perfect location for all water sports such as fishing, boating, swimming, and skiing. On land, there is plenty of activity with golfing, hiking, camping, or just relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty and wildlife. Be on the lookout for deer, turkey, fox, and coyote that roam the park. Eagles can be seen in the winter months.
There’s a lot to do and see at Paris Landing State Park! Enjoy a picnic at one of the picnic areas overlooking Kentucky Lake, or reserve a picnic pavilion for your family reunion or company picnic. Hit the links at our Par 72, 18-hole golf course, or play softball, basketball or tennis at our various sports areas (equipment not provided).
Into hiking? The park’s self-guided trail system is 3 miles long and consists of two trails. Over 100 miles of trail are also available nearby at Land Between The Lakes. Have a valid TN fishing license? We have fishing at its finest on the beautiful Kentucky Lake/TN River. Up for a swim? There is a public swimming area and beach on Kentucky Lake and an Olympic-sized swimming pool at the park inn.
Seasonal activities/programs are also offered. The annual “Summer in the Park” concert series is every Saturday night from May to July, and an Interpretive Raptor Program is offered on Friday night in the hotel lobby (April-Oct.) with an opportunity to view different birds of prey.
