Dyers Creek boasts fantastic views of on the sparkling Lake Barkley in the wooded rolling hills of Tennessee. Whether its a family picnic and a BBQ with friends, the recreation area provides the perfect setting for a relaxing get-together.
Lake Barkley, the westernmost lake on the Cumberland River is connected by canal to Kentucky Lake, forming one of the greatest freshwater recreation complexes in the country.
Between both lakes sits the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation Area, the largest inland peninsula in the United States. Here visitors have access to boat ramps, many miles of hiking trails, wildlife viewing and off highway vehicle riding.
Visitors here enjoy boating, fishing, wildlife watching and swimming.
Bring the binoculars and search for wildlife like the white-tailed deer, raccoons and bald eagles. Fishing is popular, and during warm months bass and catfish are abundant.
The park provides a playground, volleyball court, flush toilets and a boat ramp. The shelter accommodates up to 100 people and 50 vehicles. Ample paved parking is also available.
Visit the Lake Barkley State Resort Park for miles of hiking trails and horseback riding stables.
From Nashville, Tenn, take I-24 West to the Clarksville Exit. FollowHighway 79 for 20 miles to Dyers Creek Recreation Area entrance.
Nice clean park I walked my dog around the park no one was here.
Amazing area to spend time on the water, go catfishing, let the kids play on the playground, and others. I've been exploring the rivers and lakes of my hometown and would definitely recommend this spot for live bait (shad). A ton of shad live here and are extremely easy to catch. I often catch Chanel catfish here and bring home for filets. My wife let's the filets sit in buttermilk over night to get the mud tast out and it works!
Great, quiet place to take in scenery and find your peace of mind. You also might catch a fish or two, if you're into that sort of thing.
The park is in disarray. What's left of it is still usable. City needs to invest time to get this park back in working order. Get rid of the sand park and put new equipment in.
Great place to come for a walk or a family outing. Very foggy on the morning I visited
