Re: sail boats on watts bar lake, Tenn.

Thanks Bubbakat, I have an old oday 27 sailboat and an old 21 ft Chriscraft so I guess you could say I like the best of both worlds. I am not that familiar with watts bar but it seems like just the place to have a boat. you can get anywhere from there. Do you know what the average depth is? my sailboat draws about 4 1/2 feet and I know they lower the lake in the winter...

They run commercial barges above the dam and below. I was there back in oct. I think it was oct. and in the main chanel it was at 50 to 60 feet

If you contact Robert Bennett at Arrowhead Marine, Spring City, TN, I am sure you will be able to get all the information about the lake, also, a map. He is on Watts Bar, just off the main channel.
