Great Catfish Lake
Catfish heaven. If you like to catfish, this is a great lake. I prefer to jug fish; use 5 foot lines and large hooks. Catch bait fish, I use shad caught with a cast net, and cut the bait fish into large chunks, at least 3 x 3 inches. When you leave the boat dock turn left and stop at the opening of the second cove. Go into the cove about 20 yards, turn around and start dropping jugs every 30 feet while curving to the right as you leave the cove. Fish dawn till 10am or 3pm till dark. I always leave with 6-10 fish and typically catch at lease 1 fish in the 28-35 pond range. The second best spot is the deep cove straight across from the bait shop. Note: if you use anything else for bait you will not get the same results. It does matter.

Wonderful Lake!
HPL has been a place that I have been to even as a kid back in the 70’s. Not much has changed really. The 7+ mile trails are excellent for an afternoon hike! Our family has enjoyed this wonderful lake for years! Perfect for fishing, picnicking, family gatherings, hiking and biking.

Wonderful quite place
This is a very old state of TN run lake. Small so you can canoe or use a trolling motor, and not be bothered by skiers or fast base boats if you want to fish. You do have to purchase a daily permit to fish or be on the water as well as have a state fishing license (daily or yearly). They also have a nice bicycling walking trail that is kept clear year round. Just be careful of poison ivy and snakes in the warmer months.
