Buchanan, Tenn.–Paris Landing State Park and Kentucky Lake will be busy over the next two weeks, with fishing and kayak tournaments to be held. Paris Landing is also a stop this year for America’s Great Loop Cruisers Association.
Everyone is invited to Paris Landing State Park at 2 p.m. Friday, October 14th for the first weigh-in of the Crappie Classic.
A total 350 “Loopers” are here with the America’s Great Loop Cruisers Association and they were fed at Paris Landing Wednesday night. Paris-Henry County Chamber CEO Travis McLeese said, “We are already receiving a great response from the those that came in a day or two early for the Conference.” They enjoyed their meals provided by Ace’s Pizza and Sweet Jordan’s.
For those unfamiliar, the Great Loop is a circumnavigation of the eastern U.S., and part of Canada. The route includes the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Tennessee River, Mississippi River, Ohio River, the New York State Canals, the Canadian Canals, the Great Lakes, the other inland rivers, and the Gulf of Mexico. “Loopers” take on this adventure of a lifetime aboard their own boat.
