Pickwick Reservoir Land Management Plan

Reservoir Land Management Plans (RLMPs) effectively guide land use approvals, private water use facility permitting, and resource management decisions on TVA-managed public land. Pickwick RLMP was approved by the TVA Board of Directors in September 2002.

Pickwick Reservoir is an impoundment of the Tennessee River formed by Pickwick Landing Dam, which is located at Tennessee River mile 206.7. Pickwick Reservoir is situated in Colbert and Lauderdale Counties in Alabama, Hardin County in Tennessee, and Tishomingo County in Mississippi.

Pickwick is popular for boating and water skiing. Pickwick also has excellent sport-fishing areas, including the Wilson Dam tailwater at the upper end of the lake, noted for record-size smallmouth bass and catfish.

Scope

The scope of the Pickwick RLMP is 19,238 acres. The Pickwick RLMP contains a regional overview, information about the environment around the reservoir and descriptions of each parcel of land. Pickwick Reservoir property is divided into 161 parcels, and each parcel is assigned a single land use allocation zone. Descriptions of the allowable land uses within each land planning zone are available here.

Allocation Changes

After approval of an RLMP by TVA, all future uses of TVA public lands on that reservoir must then be consistent with the allocations within the RLMP. In accordance with TVA policies and guidelines, allocation changes are only allowable under limited circumstances. The attachment at the link below describes the land use allocation changes that have occurred on Pickwick Reservoir since the 2002 RLMP was completed.
