Dale Hollow Lake
On July 9, 1955, D.L. Hayes caught an 11-pound, 15-ounce
smallmouth bass out of Dale Hollow Lake. This record still stands today as the
world-record smallmouth bass.
There are seven lakes within a hour's drive of Macon County,
six of them are Corps of Engineers lakes.
These lakes provide extensive opportunities for
boating, fishing, swimming, and hiking. Spend a day fishing on the
lake, have a picnic in one of the many picnic areas.
