If you need a boat or jet ski rental while enjoying your Douglas Lake getaway, reach out to your host at Mountain Lake Getaways. Douglas Lake is a TVA controlled reservoir and is drawn down from late fall through early spring. The lake is still there, but docks may be sitting on the lake bottom and not at the edge of the property. The lake is typically at full summer pool during the summer months. This dock typically floats through September, but I can not guarantee it.
You will be required to sign a rental agreement, a point of contact form and set up a required security deposit just making your reservation. This is required to stay with us.
