Cherokee Lake

Location: NE of Knoxville, TN

Temperature: 60°'s F

Things to see: There are two boats sunk here near the dam. A larger and smaller cabin cruiser plus a riding mower. Also a monument dedicated to a fellow diver who drowned in this lake years ago is close by and can be reached on the same dive.
