Paris Landing State Park is an 841-acre (3.4 km2) state park located on the western bank of Kentucky Lake in Buchanan, Henry County, Tennessee.[1]
The park is located inland from the original site of Paris Landing which served steamboat traffic on the Tennessee River. The site is now under the waters of Kentucky Lake, which was created by TVA when the Tennessee River was dammed in 1944.

The park is most often visited in the summer season. Many families use the facilities for various events such as barbecues, picnics, fireworks, recreational activities, etc. On Independence Day, the park is full of visitors there to watch the show of fireworks. The clear setting of the lake provides a beautiful backdrop to the fireworks show. During the summer the pool is open for swimming, as well as the lake. Many boats and fishing equipment can be seen out on the waters in the summer season.
the lodge….
Lodging is available at the 91-room lodge,[3] in 10 3-bedroom cabins, 45 campsites with water and electricity and 18 primitive campsites. The lodge contains a restaurant, bar, lounge, gift shop and a conference center. A full-service marina is also located in the park features boat slips, gas and a bait shop.[1]
The marina, along with the spacious lodge and conference center, have played host to dozens of professional crappie and bass tournaments.
I have enjoyed this iconic Lake and State Park for many years. My maternal roots sprang from the soil of Paris, Tennessee. Frequent visits to the Lake have created a deep love within my being for its nature. I AM sure your first visit will yield the same natural perception.
