Getting Outdoors
When you want an unforgettable fishing experience, Douglas Lake might be a perfect destination for you. The Tennessee Valley Authority maintains the lake. They also monitor the fish population. Even though the quality of the water is excellent, the lake is occasionally restocked. Anglers may catch a variety of species, such as crappie, bluegill, largemouth bass, and catfish. Fishermen come here during winter as well because that’s the perfect time to reel in saugers and walleyes. A couple of bait shops around the lake sell fishing gear. They are close to the piers that are suitable for anglers who prefer to stay on the shore.

This camper perfect! Greg and his wife made sure the camper was well stocked with everything we needed to enjoy a stress free week. Greg handled delivery, set up, and pick up which helped this single mom enjoy more time with her children stress free! Highly recommend!
