Patti’s 1880’s Settlement

Restaurants cluster in the gateway towns around Land Between the Lakes. The best dinner plan depends on which side of the peninsula you finish on. Choose the town first, then check the restaurant’s current hours before you leave the park.

Some placements on this page may be paid. Position is not a quality ranking. Verify menus, hours and reservations with each restaurant.
