Review:

Created by Nickajack Dam on the Tennessee River, Nickajack Lake is a 46-mile-long reservoir that passes right through Chattanooga.

Boats and fishermen are welcome on the water, and boat launches are conveniently located on both sides of the lake.

There is also a concrete fishing pier for visitors who would rather fish from the comfort of the shore.

Another notable feature of the area is the nearby Nickajack Cave, which is home to an endangered species of bat that can be seen emerging from the cave in impressive droves at dusk between the end of April and the beginning of October.
