THINGS TO DO
Rent a paddleboard or kayak. Tube all day behind a pontoon boat or set sail for wide-open spaces. Anchor in a quiet cove or hang in a local lakeside marina. Want to get away? Take your boat to Knoxville or Chattanooga or all the way to the Gulf. Fish a tournament any weekend, throw out a line from a pier, or hire a guide to catch the big one!
