In 2011, Boating Magazine voted the lakes in Tellico Village and Knoxville as one of the 10 Best Places to Live and Boat. It's not hard to figure out why boat manufacturers such as Sea Ray, Bayliner, Master Craft and Skier's Choice, among others, set up shop in or near Knoxville. The Tennessee River, which runs adjacent to Tellico Village and right through downtown Knoxville, is part of every aspect of life here. Both downstream and upstream, the river is a popular fishing and camping spot. Closer to the city, recreation is ever feeding from the river. The biggest pull for the downtown area is the [University of Tennessee] football season because of the massive tailgating parties on boats. As the river flows out of downtown, it forms Fort Loudon Lake where there's been a recent boom of lakefront housing developments such as Tellico Village and Kahite . But the centerpiece of the area is Tellico Lake, where most of the boat builders test their boats. Christensen Yachts has even set up a new shipyard on Tellico Lake a few miles outside Tellico Village. It also became the place to live ever since nationally known Tellico Village opened in the 1990s due to the signature Yacht Club, Boat Docks, Marina and the availability of upscale homes.

Tellico Lake covers 16,000 acres nestled in the foothills of the Smokey Mountains. Enjoy sailing, boating, canoeing, water sports, and fishing for trout, bass and other species of fish. Enjoy several lakeside parks, boat launches, marinas, restaurants and overnight campsites. The lake surrounding Tellico Village was formed by Tellico Dam which diverts water from the Little Tennessee River to Fort Loudon Lake. Construction of the dam and reservoir project began March 7, 1967 and the filling of the reservoir started on November 29, 1976. The dam was completed in 1979 and is located one mile south of Fort Loudon Dam. It is 129 feet high and 3,238 feet long. The Dam created a navigational waterway up the Little Tennessee River and offers access to barges heading up the river. Tellico and Fort Loudon lakes are connected by a canal thus making a lock unnecessary. This canal creates limitless long distance cruising which makes it possible to boat to 21 states, the Gulf of Mexico or the Great Lakes. Tellico Lake consists of 15,860 acres of surface, 373 miles of shoreline and a 2,627 square miles watershed. It is located just 30 minutes southwest of Knoxville and only minutes from Maryville and Lenoir City, Tennessee. |
