The lake&#8217;s name acknowledges a group of Cherokees. They supported the British during the American Revolution, split from the main Cherokee tribe, and settled along the Tennessee River in present-day Chattanooga. In 1940, the Chickamauga Dam was created as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority initiative under President Roosevelt to provide more flood control and electricity. Chickamauga Lake itself is a reservoir bordering Rhea, Miggs, and Hamilton counties, spanning 36,000 acres. At its southernmost end is the nature-filled, trendy city of Chattanooga, and residents enjoy the lake for recreation. No matter where you visit along all 810 miles of shoreline, there&#8217;s something to enjoy on Lake Chickamauga.

It&#8217;s especially revered for bass fishing. Due to its vegetative habitat with milfoil, pondweed, hydrilla, and naiads, as well as cool summer water, these fish flourish here. According to bass fishing authority,&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bassmaster.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Bassmaster<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">, Lake Chickamauga is a &#8220;bass angler&#8217;s dream&#8221; and ranked the 6th best bass fishing lake in the country in 2019. In 2018, it ranked number 2. This lake holds the record for the heaviest largemouth bass, which was caught by angler Gabe Keen in 2015. Typically, a 10-pound fish would be noteworthy, but this astonishing 12-year-old fish weighed 15.20 pounds.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you&#8217;re interested in following in Keen&#8217;s footsteps, take a few tips from competition angler Miles Burghoff. In an article for&nbsp;<\/span><a class=\"_e75a791d-denali-editor-page-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/waypointoutdoors.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Waypoint Outdoors<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&nbsp;about fishing on Lake Chickamauga, Burghoff recommends shallow water fishing in the early mornings. In mid-day, you can find bass in deeper bays. Even when fishing alone &#8212; due to social distancing precautions &#8212; the upcoming summer seasons will bring a plethora of bass fishing opportunities on this lake. What better way to brighten your day than spending it fishing?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-great-outdoors\">The Great Outdoors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/outdoorchattanooga.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Locations\/Booker_T\/Booker-T-Washington-State-Park-Entrance-Sign.jpg\" alt=\"\" style=\"width:800px;height:auto\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Photo courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/outdoorchattanooga.com\/booker-t-washington\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Outdoor Chattanooga<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Around Lake Chickamauga, there&#8217;s no shortage of outdoor recreation.
