Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee!

Welcome to Tims Ford Lake in Tennessee!

Tims Ford State Park, located on the Tims Ford Reservoir, in the rolling hills of southern middle Tennessee, is an outstanding recreational area and fishing paradise. Long before the construction of Tims Ford Dam on the headwaters of the Elk River, the area was used extensively by the Indians as a hunting and fishing territory. Archaeological excavations uncovered numerous artifacts and occupational sites, indicating that man had occupied the area as much as 10 - 12 thousand years ago.

The 10,700-acre Tims Ford Lake is one of the most picturesque in Tennessee and is regarded as one of the top bass fishing and recreational lakes in the Southeast.

Tims Ford Lake offers fun for all. There are two campgrounds, two large marinas. Lake home and cabin  rentals are very popular. The lake is well known with fishermen and offers excellent rockfish, large and small mouth bass, crappie, walleye, and trout fishing in the tail water. Tims Ford State Park is a full featured park and hosts the Bear Trace golf course. There are miles of hiking trails, biking trails, and loads of shopping opportunities.  The annual Dogwood Festival is a great family event.
