Overview
Cordell Hull Lake is an 11,960-acre reservoir on the Cumberland River in Smith, Jackson, and Clay counties in Middle Tennessee, about five miles upstream of Carthage. It was completed in 1973 by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Nashville District for hydropower, navigation, and recreation, and is named for Cordell Hull, Franklin D. Roosevelt's Secretary of State and a native of the region. The lock-and-dam project extends commercial navigation farther up the Cumberland while creating a long, scenic recreation pool.
