the opportunity to experience. From cycling to climbing to
SCUBA to caving, scouts get to explore their world. This

Area Facts
Many rock bluffs exists on the lake's lower end,
starting at the Morris Ferry Bridge and extending to the dam.
The upper end has a few steep banks, but flat areas and sloping
hills dominate. Shoreline development is minimal, limited to
one marina and the Arnold Engineering Development Center.
There are 65 miles of shoreline.
Large mouth bass are the most popular game fish on
Woods. In fact, TWRA biologists rate Woods as one of the top
three crappie lakes in TN based on per-acre production. Most
angler-caught crappie are in the 9.5- to 10-inch range. An
11- to 12-incher is considered big. Although largemouth are
clearly the dominant black bass, smallmouth fishing on Woods is
also highly rated.
