    We are fortunate to have a state park nearby. There is a nice pavilion for gatherings that can be reserved.. Mousetail Landing State Park has something for everyone during all four seasons. Keep your eyes peeled to see the eagles that nest there!

    I love this park! The small swim area and fishing dock are perfect for my two kids. Not to mention some of the hiking trails I’ve been on. My son loves the two play areas we go to. They have great programs for the kids throughout the summer!

About Mousetail Landing State Park

This 1,247-acre area is located on the east banks of the Tennessee River. Tradition has it that Mousetail Landing received its name during the Civil War period when one of the area’s tanning companies caught fire. The exodus of mice fleeing the burning tannery was so profuse that the area in proximity of the park became known as Mousetail Landing.

With Mousetail Landing State Park located on the Tennessee River, fishing is a popular activity. Fishing is permitted anywhere you can reach water. Bass, bream, crappie, stripe and catfish can be caught along the banks. Mousetail Landing has primitive campgrounds as well as sites with hookups for overnight guests.
