 Welcome to one of the
South’s most attractive "Great Outdoors" adventure. The Tennessee-Tombigbee
Waterway Region is rich in history, heritage, nature, and unique recreation.Some $50 million of modern recreation facilities
were built as part the waterway construction.
These facilities provide convenient access to the 40,000 acres of lakes that make up the
waterway.
Fishing
The Tenn-Tom, with its high water
quality and a variety of game fish, is one of the top sports fishing spots in the nation.
Memorable catches are common with bass reaching 14 pounds or
larger. Crappie fishing in the Spring and Fall is unsurpassed. Guide service is available
but most first time fishermen are successful in finding the "honey holes".
Camping
Camping is available at eight major
recreation areas along the 234 - mile waterway. Most all of the campgrounds include all
the expected amenities (camper hookups, laundry, bathhouses, etc.) as well as primitive
camping sites. For more information about these attractions click here.
Boating
In addition to local enthusiasts, the Tenn-Tom draws
transient boaters or those on extended cruises like a giant magnet. Most all pleasure
boats cruising between mid-America and the Gulf of Mexico or other distant places enjoy
the waterway. It is not only the shortest route but also the safest and most scenic.
Part of the
Tenn-Tom cruise includes the Kentucky and Pickwick Lakes of the Tennessee River, one of
the most beautiful boating experiences in the country. For more information about marina
services and locations click here.
Hunting
Thousands
of acres along the waterway are devoted to public hunting. Along with a permit from the
U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, all state and federal laws apply while hunting on these
public lands. Deer hunting is limited to bows, muzzleloaders, and shotguns with slugs.
Other hunting includes waterfowl, turkeys, and small game. |
