Getting Outdoors

With such a large expanse of water, the fishing opportunities are very good, although shoreline fishing is restricted due to the steep nature of the banks. The rugged shore offers plenty of quiet places to take a boat and enjoy the solitude of fishing for bass, catfish, and walleye. Boat rentals are available locally, and there are also several chartering companies that will take you on guided fishing trips.

Camping at Carters Lake

On the southern shore of the lake is Doll Mountain Campground, with over 60 campsites, the majority of which have hookups for comfortable motorhome camping. Many of the sites are under the cover of trees, making a lovely shady location in the summer months. On-site, there are two restrooms with showers, laundry facilities, and a playground. Access to the lake is easy with a boat trailer park and a boat ramp on the campground.
