A 30,300-acre TVA reservoir stretching across Hawkins and Jefferson counties with over 400 miles of shoreline, offering largemouth and smallmouth bass fishing, crappie and catfish angling, boating, camping, and swimming at multiple public access points. The lake's relative remoteness compared to closer reservoirs keeps it less crowded, preserving a peaceful on-water experience for local anglers and boaters. Lakeside campgrounds operated by TVA and private concessionaires provide overnight options.
