About this water

Fontana Lake is a large TVA reservoir bordering Great Smoky Mountains National Park, offering outstanding fishing for multiple species in a spectacular mountain setting. The Cable Cove area provides boat ramp access to productive bass and walleye habitat along the lake's many coves and points. Smallmouth bass fishing is particularly strong along rocky shorelines near the national park boundary.
