Located about midway between Chattanooga and Knoxville, the lake begins as the Tennessee
River below Fort Loudon Dam in Lenoir City, Tennessee and stretches 72.4 miles (116.5 km) to
Watts Bar Dam, near Spring City, Tennessee. The Clinch River connects to the main channel of
the lake at mile 568 near Southwest Point (site of Andrew Jackson and John Sevier's 1803
confrontation[1]) in Kingston, Tennessee, and the widening of the Clinch by the lake makes that
river navigable all the way to Melton Hill Dam near Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The partially
navigable Emory River connects with the Clinch near the TVA's Kingston Steam Plant just
upriver from the meeting with the Tennessee. Including the Clinch and Emory arms, Watts Bar
has 722 miles of shoreline and over 39000 acres (160 km²) of water surface. Minor tributaries
include Poplar Creek, Caney Creek, and White's Creek. The lake contains several large islands,
most notably Thief Neck Island, Long Island, and Sand Island.
