Douglas Lake, Reservoir in Eastern Tennessee, United States.
Douglas Lake spans 30,400 acres across Eastern Tennessee, created by impounding the French Broad River with a maximum depth of 140 feet.
The Tennessee Valley Authority constructed Douglas Dam between February 1942 and February 1943 to generate hydroelectric power and manage flood control.
The town of Dandridge on the northern shore maintains its historical structures through an earthen dam that prevents flooding from the lake's operating levels.
The reservoir experiences significant water level changes, with summer elevations at 1000 feet and winter levels dropping to approximately 940 feet above sea level.
The lake's water clarity varies significantly, with the clearest conditions near the dam while upper sections display green coloration from natural sediment.
