THINGS TO DO

Rent a paddleboard or kayak.  Tube all day behind a pontoon boat or set sail for wide-open spaces.  Anchor in a quiet cove or hang in a local lakeside marina.  Want to get away?  Take your boat to Knoxville or Chattanooga or all the way to the Gulf.   Fish a tournament any weekend, throw out a line from a pier, or hire a guide to catch the big one!
