| Douglas Lake is located in the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains. Formed
from the French Broad River and its tributaries of the Nolichucky and Pigeon Rivers, its
30,400 acres of water surface and 555 miles of shoreline attract more than 1.7 million
recreation visits per year. Even with this number of visitors, the lake still offers
many secluded coves and hollows to enjoy, never giving you that over-crowded feeling.
The best thing about Douglas Lake's location is its close proximity to the action
packed attractions of Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and the Great Smoky Mountain
National Park, offering you two vacations in one! Fish population includes: Black Bass,
Sauger, Walleye, Crappie and the usual river run of rough fish species.
Douglas Lake is patrolled by TVA Public Safety Service and the TN Wildlife Resources
Agency.
