Welcome to Dale Hollow Lake! Expanding across the border of Northern Tennessee and South Central Kentucky, this lake offers a wonderful vacation spot for the whole family.

Dale Hollow Dam and Lake was authorized by the Flood Control Act of 1938 and the River and Harbor Act of 1946. The project was completed for flood control in 1943. Power generating units provide a total hydroelectric capability of 54,000 kilowatts.

This beautiful lake offers crystalline waters that are ideal for virtually all water sports, including scuba diving. Because of the temperate climate and relatively long recreation season, visitors have many opportunities to fish, hunt, camp, picnic, boat, canoe, hike, ride horseback, and enjoy the outdoors in many other ways.

Each year, millions of visitors come to enjoy the clear waters and secluded coves of the 27,000 acre lake. Make your plans early to join us here at Sulphur Creek Resort in Cumberland County, Kentucky.
