Created by the Tennessee Valley Authority between 1966 and 1970 through the damming of the Elk River, the reservoir stretches 34 miles upstream and features approximately 250 miles of pristine shoreline, making it one of the most scenic and cleanest lakes in the mid-south. Named after Abner Mansfield Tims, an early Franklin County settler who owned land near a historic ford crossing the Elk River used until 1885, the lake reaches a maximum depth of 150 feet near the 175-foot-high, 1,580-foot-long Tims Ford Dam. The reservoir maintains a summer pool elevation of 888 feet above sea level and varies about 15 feet annually to accommodate winter drawdown for flood control. The lake features six accessible islands for camping and exploration including Leatherwood Island, Big Island, Little Island, Maple Bend Island, Goose Island, and Devils Step, which were once hilltops before the valley was flooded. Surrounded by five cities including Winchester (the Franklin County seat), Decherd, Estill Springs, Tullahoma, and Lynchburg, Tims Ford Lake is approximately 100 miles from both Nashville and Chattanooga, making it an ideal weekend destination for residents of Tennessee's major metropolitan areas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesignated as a Bill Dance Signature Lake, Tims Ford Lake is considered one of the premier bass fishing and recreational lakes in the Southeast, particularly renowned for its exceptional smallmouth bass fishery, widely regarded as the best reservoir smallmouth bass fishing in middle Tennessee. Bass fishing accounts for 75 percent of targeted angling effort, with the lake supporting robust populations of largemouth bass, smallmouth bass, spotted bass, along with annually stocked striped bass, hybrid striped bass, walleye, and black and white crappie, plus catfish and bluegill. The lake hosts numerous local and professional fishing tournaments throughout the year, including the Tennessee Bass Nation competitions and the Tims Ford Bass Club's annual Spring Classic held the first Saturday in April. The 3,546-acre Tims Ford State Park, opened in 1978, serves as the recreational centerpiece of the lake, offering 20 fully equipped cabins with fireplaces and lakefront views, two developed campgrounds with 168 RV and tent sites, primitive camping on the six lake islands, 11 hiking trails, two pavilions, and the Lake View Marina providing pontoon boat, kayak, and canoe rentals along with a snack bar and bait shop. The crown jewel of the park is The Bear Trace at Tims Ford, an award-winning Jack Nicklaus-designed 18-hole championship golf course that opened in 1999 as part of the Tennessee Golf Trail, featuring 6,764 yards of play with the reservoir visible from most holes and coming into play on several, creating an excellent balance of challenge and scenic beauty. Visitors can also explore nearby attractions including the famous Jack Daniel's Distillery in Lynchburg, historic downtown Winchester with its charming boutiques and restaurants, and enjoy diverse wildlife viewing including bald eagles, deer, and various waterfowl species that thrive in the 10,000 acres devoted to wildlife management surrounding the lake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSmall: 8\"x12\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMedium: 12\"x18\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLarge: 16\"x24\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExtra Large: 20\"x30\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eXX Large: 24\"x36\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGigantic 30\"x45\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD Extra Large: 20\"x30\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD XX Large: 24\"x36\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHD Gigantic 30\"x45\" - 15 Layers\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference between standard and HD maps is the number of layers.
