CHEROKEE DAM

Cherokee Lake has more than 460 miles of shoreline and a summer water level of 30,300 square acres. The flood stage elevation at summer pool is 1,073 feet above sea level. The normal winter water level varies 28-40 feet from summer levels.
Being 59 miles long, Cherokee Lake touches four east Tennessee counties; Jefferson, Grainger, Hamblen, and Hawkins. It is conveniently located just 10 miles from Interstates 40/81 and a short 27 miles from Interstate 75.
