TVA Lakes
Reservoirs stretch across the Tennessee Valley like a string of pearls. And for those who love to fish, those lakes are just as valuable. Whether it’s bass, crappie, walleye, or catfish, whether for sport, food, or just fun, you can find world-class lake fishing only hours away from any spot in the Tennessee Valley.
Find family-friendly fishing destinations on TVA Shores, to learn where the fish—and memories—are waiting for you, check out this list of family-friendly fishing piers and berms on TVA lakes. Located on reservoirs from one end of the Valley to the other, these are great places to cast a line, alone or with a kid or two in tow.
Corps of Engineers Lakes
The Army Corps of Engineers is the steward of the lands and waters at Corps water resources projects. Its Natural Resources Management mission is to manage and conserve those natural resources, consistent with the ecosystem management principles, while providing quality public outdoor recreation experiences to serve the needs of present and future generations.
Looking for a fishing hole with a little peace and quiet? Somewhere to spend quality time with family and loved ones?
Then try one of the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency Fishing Lakes for solitude, relaxation, and the chance to catch bass, sunfish, crappie, and catfish. The lakes managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency are open year-round for fishing.
The Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation operates many state parks/natural areas, and a lot of them offer fishing opportunities at reservoirs, lakes, ponds, and trout streams.
In fact, a park is within 50 miles of every citizen in the state, so a good fishing spot is closer than you think. For more information about these fishing opportunities, visit them at: http://tnstateparks.com/activities/fishing
