Review & FAQ:
Tellico Reservoir is located less than a 30-minute drive from Knoxville, deep in the mountains of eastern Tennessee. It was created as a result of building Tellico Dam.
The lakeshore is mostly undeveloped with a few recreation facilities such as several campgrounds, boat ramps, and a network of hiking trails.
The lake is stocked with walleye and rainbow trout and is also rich in largemouth bass. Boaters love Tellico Lake because it is large enough to explore. Sailing is also very popular.
There are many spots around the lake with a pleasant sandy shore where visitors can go for a swim or cool off in the lake during hot summer months.
