ale Hollow Lake has long held a reputation as one of the nation’s most pristine bodies of water. Such a designation doesn’t happen by accident though. A lake needs a community of people who look out for its well-being, and Friends of Dale Hollow Lake was created to do just that. “We no doubt have the cleanest lake of its size in the United States,” said Friends of Dale Hollow Lake President Toni Johnson. “Our goal is to do our part to keep it that way.” As active participants in conserving and protecting the lake, the group helps with trail maintenance, eagle watches, and lakeshore cleanup. Their efforts support the Army Corps of Engineers in its stewardship of the lake. “Being a member is very rewarding,” Johnson said.
“Feeling the pride in helping to preserve the lake is immeasurable.” Membership currently stands at about 50 people, and is a great way to make new friends and strengthen community bonds. “We are very excited about the future,” Johnson said. “Moving forward, it’s vital that the next generation continue the work that Friends of Dale Hollow Lake have started,” Johnson said, “and we have no doubt that will happen. We’re very excited about the future.” Friends of Dale Hollow Lake is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting and conserving the lake. Membership is open to all.
