I never take my boat there....thousands of stumps there and your going to bit them. Get a room package at BlueBank Package includes room...boat....boat gas....bait....and ice each day. Good restaurant there also. Other good restaurants are around the lake. Boyettes has a good one. Take your own life jackets and trolling motor and battery if you think you need trolling motor. I just take my life jackets. The deepest water is in Blue Basin. The rest is pretty shallow. Besides a TN license you will need a Reelfoot lake permit. You can buy that where you stay.
