Pickwick Dam balances the ease of small-town living with a year-round lake lifestyle. Tucked along the Tennessee River in Hardin County, it sits a quick drive from Savannah and the riverside community of Counce, making errands, dining, and healthcare straightforward while keeping the water—and breathtaking sunsets—front and center.
Outdoors, the area shines. Weekends revolve around Pickwick Landing State Park, where you’ll find a full-service marina, sandy swim beach, wooded trails, disc golf, and a scenic championship course. Anglers prize the clear, deep waters of TVA’s Pickwick Reservoir for smallmouth bass and crappie, and you’ll see cruisers, pontoons, and paddleboards sharing calm coves most months of the year. After a day on the lake, sunset dinners at the lodge or casual grills give the community a friendly, unhurried rhythm.
Families appreciate access to Hardin County Schools, including Pickwick Southside School and Hardin County High in nearby Savannah. History lovers can explore Civil War heritage at Shiloh National Military Park, a powerful day trip that pairs well with river-view picnics back at the dam. Housing ranges from wooded cabins and golf-course homes to waterfront retreats with private docks—ideal for full-time living or a weekend base.
