    Default The Botel at Pickwick Dam


    The Botel at Pickwick is being demolished. Very sad, lots of good memories there. I guess the constant winter flooding we've being having finally got her.

    Just below the Dam on the north bank and just below the public ramp. Botel had their own ramp for guests.

    Don't have any info on that yet, Cray. Sandra has a friend that lives in Pickwick Dam, TN which was my source of information. If I find out, I will report it on here.

    I loved those killer little hush puppies they had!That should have been saved as a historic landmark.Stayed there many times especially while sauger fishing.
