Love the lake have camped and boated 3 yrs now here. Love it. It's deep and clean. Hate they drop the water so low and so earily in the year tho. Hard for boats to get in and have to go to other places. Love the islands to stop and cook out and swim. It's amazing out there. I'm hooked on Holston lake..~{ - Karen Glenn

    The beauty of South Holston Lake is reason enough to stop by. Through the days of summer at South Holston Lake temperatures are commonly in the 80's. Once the sun is down it descends down to the 60's. For the period of the winter this place gets highs in the 40's, and winter nights come with lows in the 20's to South Holston Lake. Going for a hike along the Flint Mill Trail will let you absorb the natural beauty of this area, and playing golf is lots of fun  
   at Steele CRK Park Golf Course. Bent Branch is one of the streams close by that might be worth going to; South Holston Lake is a tremendous site to visit for more than one day, Low Gap Campground 2 is a tremendous site to camp nearby.
This lake is so wonderful. South Holston Dam is scenic and it's close to South Holston Lake; Cocran's Lakeview Camp Ground is a glorious local campground. That right there is a lot already, but it continues; South Holston Lake has

Holston River
Be sure if you go down this river that you check TVA.GOV for the generating schedule. It is a really good river to go down if they have generated for an hour or two. If you start the river before or right after the start generating you will run out of water. You will be draging your kayak before you know it. So remember give the water a little time to get ahead of you and you will have a great time. If you are wanting to start a little further down river the water moves about 3 mph from the time they start generating. Have a good time....
