Lakes and Marinas

Tellico Dam was completed in 1979, and Tellico Lake was formed out of the Little Tennessee River. Tellico Lake has 357 miles of shoreline and 15,560 acres of water surface for recreational activities. All Tellico Village neighborhoods front the lake, as well as Rarity Bay & the new Rarity Pointe. Boating, skiing, and fishing are all enjoyed during the many warm months in East Tennessee. Tellico Village has several public boat ramps, but it also sports a Yacht Club with a wonderful restaurant and bar, and a Marina with fuel facilities. Summer and Winter pool depths of area reservoirs are regulated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in accordance with a set of guidelines used to ensure a healthy, safe, and productive river system. From Fort Loudon Lake, just north of Tellico Lake on the Tennessee River, one could travel all the way to the Gulf of Mexico.
