Not enough hours in a day to enjoy this spot. After a long day outdoors Iris Inn is a great place to spend a night or two; at Dougherty Lake you can see Barrow Hill. The scenery at Dougherty Lake Dam near Dougherty Lake is beautiful, and a journey to Overmountain Victory National
 
               Historic Trail is worthwhile. Nearby lakes? Sure, Shappard Lake is in the neighborhood of Dougherty Lake, and a fine nearby hotel is Griffin Inn and Suites.
This lake is so wonderful. All the water falling down from the sky makes Dougherty Lake a wet spot; the month of March is the wettest with most of the rain while September is ordinarily the driest month.
