Visitors to beautiful, historic Hardin County, Tenn., have a new reason to stay awhile. Already known for its many sports and recreational opportunities, Pickwick Lake is now home to an authentic paddle wheel riverboat.

The Pickwick Belle took her maiden voyage Oct. 8, 2007, and has since carried guests from all over Tennessee and beyond on sightseeing and dinner cruises up and down Pickwick Lake and the Tennessee River.

Pickwick Belle trips include entertainment, historical excursions and even interactive games.

Wayne Jerrolds, a former member of Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Boys who has also played his fiddle on the Grand Ole Opry, is one of the Pickwick Belle’s most popular entertainers.

A four-hour Civil War-themed lunch cruise travels through the locks down to Shiloh, where passengers tour Shiloh Military Park. “We have about 30 different types of cruises,” says Tanya Irwin, marketing director for the Pickwick Belle. “We have cruises for all ages and all pocketbooks.”
