Explore the Beauty of Watts Bar Lake
Educate | Advocate | Celebrate
The Watts Bar Lake Association was created in 1998 with a grand mission! We wanted to serve our lovely lake community in three ways; Education, Advocation, and Celebration. We educate on safety, current events, and ecology. We advocate for state and federal resources that help keep our lake healthy and enjoyable. We celebrate our lake’s beauty and the community that surrounds it by hosting cleanups and events.

Invasive Silver Carp will destroy our lakes unless TWRA takes the right steps…

The Watts Bar Lake Association is so important for our lake and the community. They prioritize important issues on the lake, like invasive fish and weeds, but they also host fun, family-friendly, events for the community. I’m happy happy Watts Bar Lake has this organization!
