Rhea Springs Recreation Area Access

Rhea Springs Recreation Area offers a scenic day-use and camping access point on Watts Bar Lake with a 20-space parking lot, paved circle drive, and boat ramp ideal for trailer boating and water access.

The 30-acre facility features a 6'x35' fishing pier, 42 picnic tables, bathhouse facilities, and numerous campsites positioned directly on the water's edge.

Note: Call ahead (423-775-7801) to confirm operating status, as the facility has experienced seasonal closures; overnight camping now requires a fee ($10 for Tennessee residents, $22 for out-of-state visitors, cash only).
