Paris Landing State Park

Ever paddled somewhere so big you can't see the other side? That's kayaking at Paris Landing State Park on Kentucky Lake, one of the largest man-made lakes in the country. Our self-serve kiosk offers single and tandem kayak rentals right at Paris Landing in Buchanan, TN, so you can launch onto open water in every direction. Chase the quiet coves near the marina if you want herons and calm water, or point your kayak toward the horizon and just go. Bring a rod. Kentucky Lake is actively managed for bass and crappie fishing and stocked with largemouth bass every year, making this a great spot for a fishing kayak rental. Or bring nothing at all and paddle out for sunset, when the water turns gold. No staff, no counter, no wait. Just walk up to our self-serve kiosk for a single or tandem kayak rental and you'll be on the water in minutes.
