Discover A Pristine Paradise When You Visit Tennessee’s Tims Ford Lake

Some of the most incredible places in Tennessee are some of the least well-known, and Tims Ford Lake may just be one of the best hidden gems in the Volunteer State. It's known for water sports and camping opportunities, as well as a stunning view of the waterfront from pretty much anywhere you choose to pitch a tent. Curious? We have everything you need to know below!

Tims Ford Lake is located in Tims Ford State Park, a 3,546-acre park protected by the state of Tennessee.

It's long been considered one of the most beautiful lakes in the state, and it's a prime spot for folks looking for a day on the water.

You can choose to rent a boat or a pontoon at the Lake View Marina and enjoy a day out on the water.

There's also a small snack bar and bait shop on-site if you find yourself in need.

Opportunities on the lake are extensive, from kayaking and canoeing to speed boating and bass fishing.

There are also multiple places to stay throughout the park, including 20 cabins and two campgrounds for both tent and RV campers.

Lakefront Landing, a four-level vacation rental home with a private dock and unparalleled lake views, is another option.

The lake itself is man-made, created in response to the TVA's construction of the Tims Ford Dam from 1966 to 1970.

The entirety of the lake's water levels will vary up to 15 feet per year as a result.

You can visit Tims Ford Lake year-round.

With hiking trails that stripe the waterfront as well as the Bear Trace golf course, there's a little something for everyone.
