Review:
Created by earthquakes that disrupted the flow of the Mississippi River in the early 1800s, Reelfoot Lake is a shallow lake known for its scenic beauty and its incredible biodiversity.
The shallow waters make perfect natural fish hatcheries, and the lake offers excellent fishing, particularly when it comes to bluegill and crappie.
The area is also home to more than 200 species of birds, including 14 rare species such as the bald eagle and the Peregrine Falcon.
Daily eagle-watching tours are offered during the winter, but visitors are always welcome to enjoy the park's hiking trails and birdwatch on their own.
