Places to boat in TN

[Billy Duncan]

We have just bought our first boat (2017 Yamaha 212X) and are located in Chattanooga, TN. So far we have tested the boat in Panama City Beach, FL which was great but we are looking for places closer to home. We have put in at Wolftever boat ramp and done Harrison bay. Does anyone know of cool places to boat, anchor, grill, etc within say 100 miles of us? Thanks in advance.

Finally!!! Another hometowner!! I am in Chattanooga as well! Hit me up this summer! I have lived on Chickamauga lake my entire life and can show you around to all the popular coves and gathering places on the lake. Congrats on the new boat!!

Hey thanks for the recommendation. Tim’s Ford does look great and only about 90 minutes drive from us. We would love a place that’s fairly isolated that we can pull up to and pitch a tent for the night, say a small beach area. I have looked and there is a campground but we’d like somewhere off the beaten track. Do you know if that’s possible? Cheers.

there is a small island in the back of Wolftever Creek close to the powerline just before you get to the marina area. It has a sand bar on the backside of it you can pull boat right up on and pitch a tent and camp. great liitle place to camp with other friends too!

I think it's called Rabbit Island...
