Local Information for Buchanan & Paris Tennessee, Paris Landing State Park and the Kentucky Lake Area
Paris Tennessee and Buchanan Tennessee
Paris is a city located in Henry County, Tennessee. As of
the 2000 census, the city had a total population of 9,763. It is the county
seat of Henry County.
A small replica of the Eiffel Tower stands in a park in Paris. Paris is
also "Home of the World's Biggest Fish Fry".
The festival is held every year and culminates on a weekend, 
usually in
late April, with a parade, an art and craft fair, and a rodeo. There is
a sign which features a roughly 20' long artificial catfish that can be
seen when entering the town from the south on State Route 79.
Paris, Henry County and Kentucky Lake
offer endless ways to relax and have fun. Kentucky Lake boasts 2,000 miles
of shoreline.
Vacationers and residents enjoy golfing, picnicking, swimming, boating,
hunting and fishing. Camping and hiking facilities are numerous, as well
as lodging from cabins to hotels.
City Parks
Paris Parks and Recreation Department's goal is to provide the best leisure
activities and services to you!
We operate eight parks incorporating a junior Olympic pool with 3 meter
spring board, one sand volleyball court, 2 picnic pavilions for large gatherings,
4 soccer fields, 5 basketball courts, 7 ball fields, 10 lighted tennis courts.
Each park has playground facilities and picnic tables. One centrally located
Ogburn Park is the host for our summer activities programs, housing tennis,
paddle ball, table tennis, croquet, volleyball, horseshoes and shuffleboard
equipment.
Hunting
If hunting is your sport, you're in luck. The area abounds with deer, turkey,
squirrel, quail, rabbits, wood duck, raccoon, ducks and geese.
Waterfowl hunting is especially big since Kentucky Lake is on a major migration
flyway, but ample deer and turkey populations make these seasons popular
also.
Hunting season lengths vary from year to year in Tennessee, but opening
dates are firm. Just call for information on license fees and dates.
Fishing and Boating
Fishing, of course, is an important
sport here, and Paris hosts several fishing tournaments each year. Over
100 species of fish in the lake include crappie, bass, catfish, sauger,
walleye, bluegill and stripes.
There's something for every fisherman from the expert angler with professional
gear, to the kid on the bank with a cane pole. The World Record Catfish
was caught in Kentucky Lake in 1971 , weighing in at an unbelievable 115
pounds!
