Pin Oak Reservoir
Pin Oak Reservoir is in the Beech River watershed in west Tennessee. The dam is one of eight small dams located on the Beech River and its tributaries.
Pin Oak is one of eight reservoirs that provide flood control, recreation, and water supply in the Beech River watershed in west Tennessee. The others are Beech, Cedar, Dogwood, Lost Creek, Pine, Redbud, and Sycamore.
The reservoirs are open to the public, providing opportunities for boating, swimming, and fishing. Pin Oak Reservoir and its adjoining land are part of the Natchez Trace State Park. The lands around the reservoirs are visited by backpackers and hikers, and a group camp has been developed on Sycamore Reservoir.
Programs on the Beech River for upland game management, restocking fish populations, constructing underwater fish attractors, and enhancing the habitat for resident Canada geese ensure the quality and future of the outdoor experience.
