*** Please be aware***
Lake Hiwassee is a working reservoir with a hydroelectric dam and therefore the water level of the lake varies greatly throughout the year. Typically the lake is filling in the spring and is full from Memorial Day to Labor day, and then lowers through the fall and is lowest in the winter. All the properties on the waterfront are affected by this. Some properties are on deeper water or have longer docks allowing varying degrees of access. Our dock is usually floating and fully accessible by boat from May thru September, however rain fall and power needs can affect these dates. There is no guarantee of the water level as this is completely out of our control. You can contact the local marina to find out the latest level for Lake Hiwassee. The Marina rents slips for a reasonable daily fee at their floating dock and it is accessible most of the year. There is also a boat launch at the marina that is free to use for anyone staying in Bear Paw resort.
