Douglas Lake, TN

Enjoy the ruggedness of the Smokies from the comfort of a lakefront cabin. The lake’s 555 miles of shoreline provide plenty of space for privacy, and the variety of activities alone is enough to spend Spring Break on Douglas Lake. Water sports abound, as do horseback riding and fishing opportunities. To children’s delight, nearby Dollywood is a mecca of thrill rides, Southern food, and renowned stage shows. Only 50 miles away, The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is an outdoorsmen’s paradise. In the springtime, wildflowers bloom along pedestrian paths, which can be explored on foot or by bike. Of course, venturing out of a comfy cabin only to fish on the lake is always an option.
