Chattanooga Yacht Club

Located at 9400 N Hickory Valley Road in Harrison, the Chattanooga Yacht Club provides boat access to Chickamauga Lake on the Tennessee River. This is a **private club facility**, so access is restricted to members. If you're a member, you'll have access to a well-established launch point on this major waterway.

Chickamauga Lake is a substantial impoundment on the Tennessee River, a major waterway with an average flow of nearly 70,000 cubic feet per second. Water levels and conditions vary significantly based on TVA dam operations upstream and downstream, so it's essential to check current lake conditions before launching. Resources like FishLakeChick.com and the TVA website provide up-to-date information on water levels and any closed ramps.

**Important boating reminders:** Tennessee requires boating education certificates for anyone operating a boat with more than 8.5 horsepower (residents born after January 1, 1989). Always verify membership requirements, hours of operation, and any applicable fees directly with the Chattanooga Yacht Club before your visit.
