Chickamauga Lake

After seeing the lower side of the Chickamauga Dam, we were all curious to see the other side, so we took the short drive to the Chickamauga Lake Park. This is the place to be if you want to put in a boat (we got to see a house boat being pulled out of the water) or if you want to feed the ducks.

There's also a step-down, partitioned off swimming area.

We loved going out on the floating docks and seeing the geese and herons land in the water.

On a hill just beside the dock area, there is a large covered pavilion with picnic tables. On the other side of that hill is a swimming area.

As far as I could tell, the area partitioned off included water up to about 4 feet.

In a group of trees behind the swimming area are picnic tables in the shade.
