Douglas Lake is just thirty minutes from our bed and breakfast Smoky Mountains TN. This sinewy body of water was created by the damning of the French Broad River in the 1940’s. Today Douglas Lake is a great spot for boating, fishing, and swimming.

Bring your own kayaks or canoe, if you have them, or ask the innkeepers of our Smoky Mountains bed and breakfast about boat rentals at Douglas Lake. It’s possible to rent all types of watercraft, from pontoon boats to jet-skis. Bring your fishing poles, too – bluegill is running at this time of year.

Gather together a group of friends for a weekend of fishing fun, or plan to woo your sweetheart with romantic swims and sunset cruises. No matter who you are with or what you do, you are sure to enjoy exploring Douglas Lake and the surrounding area.

Back at the inn, go for long hikes around our 200-acres, enjoy a game of tennis or a swim in the pool. When you are hungry, relax in the pub with a pint and some tasty pub fare, or put on your finest and head to our Gatlinburg area fine dining restaurant.
