Dale Hollow Lake Clean Marinas Initiative Dale Hollow Lake is one of the cleanest lakes in America. That’s something we can all be proud of. Our waterways are the life blood of our existence – no matter where you live, work, or play. However, it takes all of us working together to keep our waters clean and fresh. The Corps of Engineers has initiated a certification process to recognize those marinas in the Cumberland River Basin that are striving to meet the guidelines that they have set forth - doing their part and setting a good example for all of us by being good stewards of our precious Dale Hollow Lake. The nature of marina business keeps its existence tied to the water on which it serves. The marinas hold one of the closest associations between man and Dale Hollow Lake. Therefore, they also have one of the greatest opportunities to make an impact on the environment. The seven major priorities of the project are sewage management, oil and gas control, solid waste and petroleum recycling/disposal, vessel maintenance and repair, marina siteing, design and maintenance, storm water management and erosion control, and public education. The marinas that have shown their dedication to meeting these goals are designated as “Clean Marinas”. Willow Grove Dock & Resort was the first to obtain this goal in March 2005. Sunset Marina & Resort followed in the spring of 2009. Mitchell Creek Marina is on track to obtain their certification in the spring of 2010. Congratulations to each of you! Keep up the good work. If you would like to do a little extra to help keep Dale Hollow Lake Clean, please call the Corps of Engineers office at (931) 243-3136. Boating/Water Safety Water safety is something far too many take for granted and can easily take lightly. Anytime you are on or near a body of water, always keep a few simple rules in mind. It’s a simple fact, life jackets help save lives – but only if you wear them properly. Life jackets float. You don’t. Granted they can’t always keep a person from drowning, they do significantly increase your chances for survival in situations where they are needed. Wear a life jacket, sized properly and fastened correctly, especially for children. Beach toys can’t do the job a life jacket is designed to do. There is a life jacket loaner program available on Dale Hollow Lake at these locations: Dale Hollow Dam Campground, Lilydale Campground, Pleasant Grove Campground, Willow Grove Campground, and Obey River Park Campground. This program loans children’s life jackets to boaters that have come unprepared for visiting children or the children have outgrown their old life jackets. Take a boater safety course and learn to swim. Always swim with a buddy and never dive or jump into the water. Swim in designated areas. Know your boat, use the proper type of boat for the purpose of your outing, and use it properly. Never boat under the influence. Know the boating laws of the state you are boating in. The laws have been created to help promote a safer experience for everyone. Watch out for the other guy. An ounce of prevention is much more valuable than a boatload of cure! Don’t stand while a small boat is moving. Ride a personal watercraft only with an experienced adult driver. Don’t sit on the gunwales or the bow of a moving boat.

We want you to have a fun and memorable experience on Dale Hollow Lake and to keep coming back for years to come. Stay Safe!
