FORT LOUDOUN LAKE

Explore Fort Loudoun Lake: Knoxville’s Premier Boating Destination

Nestled at the headwaters of the Tennessee River, Fort Loudoun Lake stretches 55 miles upstream from the Fort Loudoun Dam to the confluence of the Holston and French Broad Rivers. With 14,600 acres of water surface and 379 miles of scenic shoreline, the lake is a top destination for boating, fishing, kayaking, and outdoor recreation in Knoxville and East Tennessee.

 

Year-Round Water Access & Recreation

Unlike other reservoirs, Fort Loudoun Lake is a navigable mainstream waterway, meaning it experiences minimal water level fluctuations—only six vertical feet annually between 813 and 807 feet above sea level. This makes it ideal for year-round boating, paddleboarding, and fishing, with stunning views of East Tennessee’s rolling hills.
