It was created when the Chickamauga Dam, as part of the Tennessee Valley Authority, was completed in 1940. The lake meanders from Watts Bar Dam to Chickamauga Dam. The lake is 58.9 miles long. It borders Rhea County, Meigs County, and Hamilton County with 810 miles of shoreline. Two bridges cross the lake. One is at State Highway 60 and the other is at Highway 30. It was named after the Chickamauga Cherokee who used to live in the area. I don't fish; I just observe fishermen who are on the docks. Sometimes they like to chat about what they've caught, especially when it's striped bass.

Awesome place with plenty of bait fish and makes fish very active! Bass like crazy and crappie!read more

If you are hiking to the falls, be aware when you climb down all those stairs, you have to climb up them to get back to the rim. The west Rim trail is great as well, not quite as strenuous as the tail to the falls.

The park itself is a bit smaller if you are looking to do a lot of exploring Beautiful views of the water! There are areas around with a pier for fishing and where you can walk around the water. The park did have restrooms as well that were clean. Beautiful spot for some fishing, a picnic, boating, and a walk along the water.

I really liked the pond setup and other aspects of this state park. There was a huge pool that apparently they are no longer going to keep operational and that is disappointing. I think they could do better with signage and what this park offers and could possibly keep all the items going for the public

There are hiking trails and a stocked fishing pond we were welcome to fish -- all that along with peace and quiet - it was a slice of heaven. Located on top of Sand Mountain with abundant wildlife respected at every turn. The owners have gotten this property designated as a Certified Wildlife Habitat. They did indeed stress there were certain rules for guests due to that, but I thought it was great! A little patio out front was ideal to watch the ducks in the lake while we had our morning coffee. We look forward to going back.

Excellent spelunking and cave exploring adventure are at Racoon Mountain Cavern and also wonderful…read morecampgrounds. Came here with Troop 513 and our Boy Scouts and adults really enjoyed a truly wonderful and satisfying experience. The cave exploration is definitely an adventure and challenging and pushes you to the limit while being guided by experienced guides. Our cave guides were Tristan and Emily and both were very kind, helpful, and knowledgeable of the cave and their experience definitely made what would have otherwise been a very frustrating and difficult task a fun and truly memorable experience. Tip: you can bring your phone if you aren't afraid to possibly damage or lose it as you will be crawling and squeezing through many parts of the adventure. 5 stars for the cave adventure and 5 stars for the campgrounds. Thank you for all you do for the scouts and making this great experience available to the public!

The Manager confronted us at our campsite after we complained about a parking issue. She brought 3 staff members to our camper. She instructed one staff member to turn on her body camera after and film us. True story folks! We came to Chattanooga for a race. I would never return. We packed up and left immediately. I felt unsafe at this campground. I do NOT recommend.
