Watt's Bar Lake

Lora and I went to Watts Bar dam and put the boat in. We explored the inlet by the boat ramp and then crossed the river and explored the inlets on the other side. We went as far as Lowe Branch. Lot's of fun.

Hornsby Hollow - Watts Bar Lake

Lora and I headed to Watts Bar Lake for the weekend.  We got a site at Hornsby Hollow Campground and canoed for two days.  The campground is great!  Friendly owners, clean bathrooms, clean campground, great boat ramp, good campstore, and its on the lake at a great location.

The first day, after we set up camp, we canoed South along the shore.  When we go into the big lake, the wind was whipping and the waves where high.  We ended up turning North and going around the big Island and back into the covered inlets for calm water.  We had a great time.  Sat out on the dock for sunset and enjoyed a fire under the stars that night.  The next day we got up and did some more exploring along the coast heading North again.  Light winds today so it was more enjoyable.  Made it back for our three o'clock checkout and headed home.

Spring City - Canoe and party

Lora and I headed out to Spring City.  We had a church picnic to attend and thought that we would go early and do some canoeing in Watts Bar Lake.  It happens to be the Piney River section of the lake.

There were lots of Islands just out from the Spring City boat ramp.  We traveled around them and saw lots of wild life.  We saw fish, deer, and lots of birds.  We checked out a couple of campsites on the islands as well.

We canoed over to the party and were entertained by the Mt. LaConte band.  Lots of fun, dancing, and games.  Not even to mention all the food you could want.  Life is good.
