Center Hill Lake has some of the cleanest and clearest waters in Middle Tennessee. The reservoir was completed in 1948 with the damming of the Caney Fork River and the Falling Water River. Anyone can head out to Center Hill to swim in the designated areas, go fishing, or enjoy its peaceful shores. Center Hill Lake has a maximum depth of 58 meters (190 feet), a length of 103 kilometers (64 miles), and a shoreline measuring 668 kilometers (415 miles). There’s plenty of space to go around, and tens of thousands of undeveloped acres offer sanctuary to wildlife. The lake is a leisurely drive from Knoxville, Chattanooga, and Nashville, while rural communities such as Smithville, Silver Point, and Baxter surround the reservoir. Interested in visiting the area?
