Reelfoot Lake History
"The Earthquake Lake"
Reelfoot Lake was formed by a series of powerful earthquakes along the New Madrid Fault between 1811 and 1812. The Main Shock struck on December 16, 1811, causing widespread devastation. This was followed by the Dawn Aftershock just hours later, intensifying the destruction. The New Madrid Earthquake on January 23, 1812, further reshaped the landscape. Finally, New Madrid 2, the strongest quake on February 7, 1812, caused the Mississippi River to flow backward, flooding the sunken land and forming Reelfoot Lake.
