About Fort Loudoun Lake

From Lenoir City to Knoxville

Fort Loudoun Lake stretches across Loudoun, Knox, and Blount Counties from Lenoir City, Tennessee to Knoxville. Parks, restaurants, cabins, yacht clubs, and marinas can be found around the lake.

Knoxville is a lively scene of restaurants, bars, shops, museums, and attractions. At only 16 miles away, it houses a variety of hospitals and the McGhee Tyson Airport.

14,600 Acres of Water

The Fort Loudon Dam was completed in 1943 on the Little Tennessee River. The Fort Loudon Lock allows boats and barges to be transported over to Watts Bar Reservoir. Over half a million pounds of cargo pass over the lock each year.

The waters of Fort Loudoun stretch across 14,600 acres, have 379 miles of shoreline, and get as deep as 78 feet. Being such a long stretch, Fort Loudon is perfect for activities like power boating, pontooning, water skiing, tubing, sailing, and kayaking.

The lake is well-known for its black and white crappie, but it also holds an abundance of largemouth, smallmouth, and black bass.

Something for Everyone

Fort Loudon Lake hosts Boomsday, the largest firework show in the nation, put on by the city of Knoxville. The fireworks shoot from the Henley Bridge, so arrive before dark to make sure you get a nice spot on the water.

There are also some great attractions in Knoxville as well. The Knoxville Zoo is incredible, and families can see a variety of exotic animals, including red pandas and Malayan tigers. This is a great chance for families to enjoy an activity together. Another great attraction is the Star of Knoxville Riverboat.
