Dale Hollow Lake is the best-kept secret in the world. The beautiful blue waters
can only compliment our rich and ample forest, which line the shore. Attractions
on the lake include our American Bald Eagle migration during the winter months
to our camping, swimming, and boating from any of our modern marinas. All of our
marinas cater to tourists as well as locals in making their visit to the Dale
Hollow a pleasant and memorable experience. Each of these marinas has
Houseboats, Ski Boats, Pontoon Boats, and Jet Skis for rent at competitive
prices. There are also several cabins, chalets, and motel rooms to choose from
when you visit Clay County. Text

(Top
Picture) This photo is taken from the TN 52 highway bridge just
a few hundred yards west of downtown Celina. We are looking north.
That's the Cumberland River flowing towards us on the left. The Obey
River merges into the Cumberland from the right. (Dale Hollow Dam is
seven miles upstream on the Obey River.) The Obey River ends here as
it merges into the Cumberland River.
(Bottom Picture) This picture is taken from the other side of
the TN 52 bridge. We are looking at the Cumberland River flowing
south towards Carthage and then onto Nashville. |
Dale Hollow National Fish
Hatchery
145 Fish Hatchery Road
Celina, TN 38551
(931) 243-2443
http://www.fws.gov/dalehollow/
Operated by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Department of the Interior, this
National Fish Hatchery (NFH) is one of many serving a vital role in the
management of our country’s fishery resources. Dale Hollow NFH was established
to mitigate for fishery resources which were lost due to the construction of
federal water development projects in the Southeast. This is accomplished by
stocking rainbow, brown, and lake trout in waters impacted by federal dams.
Stocking trout in public waters supports a significant recreational fishery
which generates a substantial amount of economic activity for local and regional
economies. This facility is also involved in the conservation of imperiled
freshwater mussels and non-game fishes. Open for tours daily.
