Formed by the construction of Greers Ferry Dam, Greers Ferry Lake is 40,000 acres of scenic waterway. The lake and the surrounding terrain offer abundant fishing, boating, hunting, hiking, swimming, skiing, tubing and even scuba diving. Nearby Sugarloaf Mountain has a strenuous hiking trail that provides excellent nature viewing and a panoramic view of the lake and landscape.
If you go:
Every July the lake is the site of a cardboard boat regatta that draws attendees form all over the world. If you want to avoid crowds and heavy traffic, however, stick to weekdays and avoid such special events. Historical footnote: the newly constructed dam was dedicated in 1963 by President John F. Kennedy, and was his last public appearance before his fateful trip to Dallas.
