Stayed 11/20/24 came in after a sunrise to sunset day of cruising on a cold and windy day. Staff were waiting on my arrival to catch lines at the dock. They were very friendly, helpful and had plenty of information about area restaurants and local services. A peaceful night , pretty surroundings.

Easy in / out- with River levels low it was a little thin at 6' in a few spots. The lodge is within walking distance and a great place to relax. If you go for dinner get there early - like 4:00. Fire pits make for a fun evening. Nature center is a stroll away. Solid docks, power, showers and restrooms. Secure. It is remote, but that's part of the charm.

Easy in and out. Plenty of transient space, gated docks and clean, secure showers. Fuels and pump out, laundry. The park has a few hiking trails, a fantastic hotel/lodge with restaurant that will pick you up from marina, nature center, conference center. No courtesy car and no town to walk to.

Very nice location. Lots of walking trails. Spectacular lodge building with restaurant, they will pick you up. Clean bathrooms and laundry. Lots of transient slips. Good diesel prices, usually about the lowest around. Would be 5 stars if they had a car, but instacart is available.

I was worried when phones were not being answered, but eventually I was able to talk with someone. We were here Oct. 21,23. We were told to just pick a spot as they were pretty empty. The docks are well kept, although at 4' draft I was bringing up a lot of mud but never hit bottom. When we left we picked up some fuel and the dockhand was very helpful. Lot's of walking and exploring can be done which we always appreciate. Price is right and friendly staff.

Great marina! Marina and surrounding area very well kept. The staff is very friendly and drove us to the restaurant at the lodge then a lodge maintenance man took us back. Highly recommend a stay there when passing this area.

I was there for one night in May 2023. Plenty of slips available for transients.
Fuel and pumpout are available. Water & power at the slip.

Marina seems well maintained. You can call the lodge, and a car will cover over to pick you up to go over to the restaurant. Small store in the marina with snacks and drinks.

Enter along the bridge in a well marked channel, good water depth all the way through even at winter pool. Good access for fuel and pump out. They don't take reservations but with the large number of slips space is not a problem. Only two bathrooms and one shower, they were clean and located at the ships store. Good access for pets.

There are two unisex bathrooms and one shower. Ship store is well stocked. We had 6' depth the end of Oct at the dock. TNT pizza delivers to the marina and the Lodge will come pick you up if you want to go to the restaurant. No provisions nearby.

JC was very friendly and helpful. Just a heads up if you get put on a transient slip. They are 70' and only have 3 cleats per side. Not quite the right spacing for our 42' boat. Nice dinner at the Lodge about 1/2 mile away. There is a shuttle, but now that it is out of season, not sure when it's available. We rode our bikes over. Some small hills along the way, but there is a crossover the main road so you don't have to play Frogger.

Stopped here twice in 2023. Never saw less than 9 feet depth at winter pool. Dockhands answer vhf 16 and then switch to 68. Good help tying up. Adapters available for 30amp power as pedestals are all 50s. Floating concrete docks are clean and power pedestals are clear of spider webs. Security gates on the docks. Individual men's and women's toilets, only a single unisex shower, all were clean. No reservations, first come first serve, but there is lots of transient space. A long, uphill bike ride to the lodge, but marina staff will drive you there.

If you get a busy when calling the listed number for Paris Landing, use this one: 931-356-8024. Apparently, they are setting up a new phone system and having issues. No reservations taken, first come, first served

Nice place to land for an evening. We missed having someone to grab a line from the dock. The 70' slips need a few more cleats for heavy winds. The store was nice and the people friendly.

The best part was getting a limo ride from the restaurant, Blue's Landing, and experiencing an incredible meal with friendly staff and the owner, Mark Berg, was fantastic! Watch for him in the upcoming movie, Blood River Reckoning! Blue's Landing was our best dining experience along the river! Call for a ride and a great experience +1 (731) 407-4926!

New concrete floating docks with large fairways. Only one shower room but clean and modern. Dock hand was friendly and helpful. Fuel was cheap, $3.29. Dockhand said they pride themselves on having the cheapest fuel around. Just an overnight for us and the restaurant was closed for the season, but overall we liked it and would go back, if we are ever in the area again.

Great Marina. Easy to get into. Well protected by large breakwater. Slips are wide with long finger piers. Good power. Secure gate. Clean bathrooms. Nice grill with good food that closed for the season on 24 October. Right in a large park so tons of places to walk a dog. Charcoal grills are available in the park.

The marina appears well run, fuel dock is large. The hotel has been torn down and is being rebuilt. It’s not expected to reopen until sometime 2021.
