ReelfootLake


ReelfootLake
Originally uploaded by amiev
Located in Lake & Obion Counties, Reelfoot Lake was formed from a series of earthquakes along the New Madrid fault back in 1812, the largest of which occurred on February 7, 1812. The town of Tiptonville borders the lake in the south. While the fall foliage is breathtaking, here's a tip for you: if you want to see Bald Eagles in the wild, visit Reelfoot Lake during the winter months, tours are available. The 4th Annual Eagle Festival will be held February 1-3, 2008.
