We're heading to a family reunion this summer near Gatlinburg, TN. When I saw how near it was to a lake I decided to take the boat. What can you tell me about boating on Douglas Lake? We will have young children. Mostly looking to cruise around and sight see in a 23' bowrider. We also enjoy swimming, tubing, kneeboard, etc.
Are there any bridges where railroad tracks cross the lake? My sons and I like to watch trains.
I was looking at putting in at Mountain Cove Marina. Anyone have experience with that place?

Thanks,
