Douglas Lake, Tennessee, United States
4.5 (258 reviews) Spent Ranking #1 in Dandridge Bodies of Water
Hundreds of miles of shoreline
We took a tour of the island in the middle of the lake that sits in front of the Marina. You would never know that if you didn't take the tour. Lots of coves and the lake is 140 ft deep. Man man by the dam in 1942 in a short period of time. Beautifully surrounded by mountains with the Smokeys in the background

Stunning View
The lake is gorgeous. I recommend going to French Broad Baptist Church. It is situated on the lake and has a great view. This church is located the Battle if Hays Ferry. The church appears to be a historic building as well.

Very relaxing!
My brother, his wife, and my tween boy rented a pontoon boat and toured the lake. We did a little fishing with no luck. We rented from a place on Douglas lake that had only new pontoon boats, and we had the most relaxing time! It poured rain in the early AM, so we nearly did not go, but so glad we did. By they time we arrived later in the morning, the sun was shining and it turned out to be a beautiful day. We were SO glad we only rented the boat for 1/2 a day which was plenty of time, an entire day would have been too much for us. Be aware, there is NO place to dock and use a bathroom, not even the pontoon rental places. There are many "fingers" to this lake, so we explored most of them. Because of the early rain, we had a lot less traffic on the lake. Most of the boats did not arrive until the afternoon. The floating dock was not very fun to cross to get to the boat rental. If I were elderly, or very young, it may have proved to be difficult. Would highly recommend a portable stroller for young children. There are no hand rails, nothing, but a floating dock that is relatively narrow, and if it is windy at all that dock moves a LOT. difficult to keep your balance, unless you look ahead and not down. They should definitely consider putting in a dock with hand rails.
