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.
Dating back to the 1800's, when the river landing was an important spot for the delivery of goods to serve the settlements of the region and an important shipping point for produce and other agricultural products, the site has long afforded good access along the Tennessee River.
Paris Landing State Park was created in 1945 and the lake soon became a popular recreation destination. Paris became known as the "Capital City of Kentucky Lake" and tourism took on an important role in the area's economy.
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 the Par 72, 18-hole golf course, or play softball, basketball or tennis at the various sports areas. 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'. The park offers fishing at its finest on the beautiful Kentucky Lake/TN River. There is also a public swimming area and beach on Kentucky Lake and an Olympic-sized swimming pool at the park inn.
Paris Landing State Park offers a variety of accommodation options. The park has 45 camping sites with water and electric, 18 primitive campsites, a 130-guestroom inn complete with restaurant, 10 3BR/2BA cabins and a group camp that is available for reservation.
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.
