LOCAL GUIDE

While you're enjoying your stay at Reelfoot Lake, take time to explore everything the area has to offer! Start your morning with breakfast at The Boat House, or grab lunch and a southern-style catfish dinner at Boyette’s Dining Room or Blue Bank Resort. For a nice night out, make the short drive to Abe’s in Dyersburg for fine dining, or stop by Cheatham’s Pit BBQ in Tiptonville for some great barbecue. Don’t forget to treat yourself to a classic ice cream cone at the old-fashioned Dairy Queen in Tiptonville.

When you’re ready for adventure, book a guided fishing or duck hunting trip through local outfitters - we recommend joining the Reelfoot Lake Facebook Group to find current availability. Families will enjoy a day at Discovery Park of America in Union City, and history lovers can catch a movie at the charming Stand Theatre in Tiptonville. For those looking to shop, browse local gift shops, pick up fishing gear at Grizzly Jig in Caruthersville, or plan a 45 min drive to White Squirrel Winery in Kenton for a relaxing afternoon.

Whether you're here to fish, explore, or simply unwind by the lake, there’s plenty nearby to make your Reelfoot Lake stay unforgettable!

  • Reelfoot Lake Facebook Group

    This group is a great resource to connect with local guides and check for availability. Many of the top duck hunting guides book up years in advance. Fishing guides are often easier to book on shorter notice, especially for half-day or quick trips.

    We suggest posting in the group to ask for recommendations and availability, it’s one of the best ways to find experienced, local guides who know Reelfoot Lake well.
