THE VIEW KEEPS CHANGING
Same place.
A different kind of beautiful.
Golden sunsets, autumn wildlife, snowy lake views and a little holiday warmth. Douglas Lake has a different mood as the seasons turn.
THE QUIETER SEASON
A winter change of scenery.
Mountain views, occasional snowfall and more time to gather indoors. Expect lower lake levels and seasonal shoreline exposure, with the dock and summer water activities unavailable.
These photos show the lake at different water levels. Douglas Lake is lowered outside the summer season, exposing more shoreline. Dock access and water activities are typically available June through Labor Day, depending on conditions.
YOUR DAYS, YOUR WAY
A lake day. A mountain day.
Or no agenda at all.
Kayak at your own pace.
Four kayaks and paddles are provided. Take a slow paddle for a different perspective on the lake and mountain views.
Find your balance.
Two to three paddleboards are available for guests, along with lake floats and noodles. Make time for a calm day on the water.
Cast a line. Stay a while.
Fishing gear is available for a summer morning at the dock. Pick up bait and tackle at Douglas Lake Market before you settle in.
Water activities depend on weather and lake levels. Dock access is typically available June through Labor Day. We recommend staying off the dock during bad weather or storms. Please bring in or secure lake toys and equipment before bad weather arrives.
A little closer to nature
Keep an eye out for lakeside birds and wildlife. Sometimes the best part of the day is simply watching what passes by.
Out exploring
Make a day of the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge or Dollywood, then return to a quieter place by the lake.
Close to home
Enjoy the deck, cook together and keep things simple. Stock up at Food City in White Pine or Dandridge. Douglas Lake Market is handy for gas, essentials and fishing bait.
