About Waterloo

Set right on the northern shore of Pickwick Lake, Waterloo is a small, easygoing community in the northwest corner of Lauderdale County. The town was moved to higher ground in the 1930s when the Tennessee Valley Authority built Pickwick Landing Dam, and its historic riverfront includes Waterloo Landing, a recognized stop on the Trail of Tears. These days, Waterloo is known for its peaceful lakeside atmosphere, popular boat launches, and calm backwaters. You get quiet water views and a tight-knit rural feel, all while being an easy 20-mile drive from Florence along County Road 14.
