Dale Hollow Lake consists of 27,700 acres of lake surface area, and 24,842 acres of
surrounding land, totalling 52,542 acres and is one of the cleaner lakes in the United
States. The lake has 620 miles of shoreline.
The average water temperatures of Dale Hollow Lake range from 45-80 degrees. The
deepest area of the lake is in the main channel near the dam totalling 130 feet.
Dale Hollow Lake is one of the fewer lakes in Tennessee and our nation that provide
an unobstructed view of nature and natural beauty at its best due to the restrictions
of private boat docks and the removal of trees from the shorelines.
The quality of the water in Dale Hollow Lake is important for the Dale Hollow National
Fish Hatchery located below the dam. The hatchery is the largest federal trout
hatchery east of the Mississippi River, producing 1.5 million trout per year, totalling
300,000 pounds. These trout are distributed between Alabama, Georgia, and
Tennessee. While visiting Dale Hollow Lake the hatchery offers access to visitors from
7 a.m. ~WWIp.m.
Located on Dale Hollow Lake are two famous historical sites. The home place of
Sergeant Alvin C. York, the famous WWI hero, is located in Pall Mall, Tennessee. The
other is the birthplace of Cordell Hull which is located near Byrdstown, Tennessee.
Cordell Hull was a great statesman and is remembered as a recipient of the Nobel
Prize and the Father of the United Nations.
Dale Hollow Lake is a popular wintering area for the Bald Eagle, our American symbol.
These beautiful birds can generally be observed from mid-December to mid-February.
Dale Hollow Lake attracts millions of visitors per year and offers many activities
including fishing, boating, skiing, camping, hiking, horseback riding, hunting and much
more. The mild climate and long recreation season make this and other Tennessee
Lakes popular vacation spots. Scuba diving is a popular sport on Dale Hollow lake;
divers are thrilled with the absence of trash and other debris in the lake.
