I asked a Park Ranger at Natchez Trace this weekend while camping there if he knew anything about Reelfoot permits and he didn't. He did say that since Pinoak, Cub, and all the others in State Parks are owned by the parks that is why you don't need separate permits for them if staying there but he felt you probably do need one for Reelfoot since the State Park system does not own that lake. However he was not sure. Just get a permit and CYA since no one seems to really know the answer. It is only a few $.
