Carefree Boat Club at South Holston Lake offers a peaceful escape into nature, with calm waters, forested hills, and endless ways to explore. From cliff jumping at Cliff Island to relaxing in quiet coves, it’s a perfect spot for making lasting memories with friends and family.
Carefree Boat Club at South Holston Lake is based out of Lake View Dock in Bristol, TN, nestled between the TVA’s South Holston Dam and the scenic Cherokee National Forest. Surrounded by forested hills and clear blue water, this quiet, tucked-away location is perfect for anyone looking to escape into nature while enjoying a wide range of boating activities.
The marina’s floating General Store features a second-story deck with panoramic lake views and everything you need for a day on the water—fuel, fishing gear, boating supplies, snacks, and more. The on-site Wheelhouse Restaurant serves up fresh, casual fare like made-to-order breakfasts, hoagies, and pizza, plus cold drinks and dockside slushies. From the dock, you’re just minutes from Cliff Island’s cliff jumping adventures, peaceful coves for watersports, and the shoreline’s shale ledges perfect for picnicking. For a land-based activity, don’t miss the TVA dam overlook for incredible lake views and a bit of local history.
