Blue Bank Resort

Joe Elmore finds a great getaway on the banks of Tennessee’s only natural lake.


More Information

During the years 1811 and 1812 violent earthquakes caused the Mississippi River to run backward. The result in Northwest Tennessee was the formation of Reelfoot Lake, now a natural paradise for hunting, fishing, or just a relaxing, scenic getaway. We found it all at a family-owned jewel of the lake called Blue Bank Resort.
