Kay Bennett, Realtor®  MILLION $$ PRODUCER: Real Estate Agent in Cookeville, TN

DALE HOLLOW LAKE COVERS OVER 600 MILES OF SHORELINE AND IS PROPERTY OF THE US ARMY CORPS OF ENGINEERS. THERE ARE MANY MARINAS ON THE LAKE TO INCLUDE SERVICES SUCH AS HOUSEBOATING, CAMPING, CABIN RENTALS, BOAT RENTALS, PICNIC AREAS, AND FISHING PIERS.

I'm sure many of you are wrapping up your Labor Day Holiday with camping, swimming, hiking, and fishing! That last official "Fun in the Sun" for many of us as fall will be knocking on our door shortly. Spending time relaxing at Dale Hollow Lake in Tennessee is a favorite for many folks, my family included.

  • Dale Hollow Dam. This dam is one of nine in the Nashville District that the US Army Corps of Engineers operates. Dale Hollow Dam is a "High Head" dam and does not have a lock for boaters, barges, etc. to pass through to the river side. Its primary function is flood control and Hydro-power, and recreation. Constructed in the 1940's, the hydro-power generators were put online in 1948 being the first hydro-power dam in the Nashville District.
    • This ultra- clear lake and unspoiled shoreline holds many records and is famous for holding the world record for small mouth bass.
