About Mousetail Landing State Park

Mousetail Landing State Park is a 1,247-acre area 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 to the park became known as Mousetail Landing. Today, the park is a favorite destination for anglers, with opportunities to reel in bass, bream, crappie, striped bass, and catfish. Visitors can also enjoy hiking scenic trails, paddling along the river, or extending their stay at one of the park's campsites.
