Depending upon Lake Levels

Reelfoot Lake State Park invites you to enjoy the fascinating world of Reelfoot Lake by taking our Scenic Pontoon Boat Tour. Experienced Naturalists, who are eager to discuss the history and wonders of this natural phenomenon, will pilot our cruise boats.

Majestic cypress trees rise from the reflective waters of the lake. A variety of aquatic plants and flowers occupy the shoreline and saturate the shallow water. Hundreds of birds fill the air with their songs. You may see great blue herons, ducks, and an occasional bald eagle soaring above. All of this creates an exhilarating cruise and enhances the serenity and peacefulness of Reelfoot Lake. You will marvel at the awe-inspiring adventures this “Earthquake Lake” has in store for you. Guests are invited to bring soft drinks and snacks to make their trip even more delightful.
