The traditional mark of the ending of summer came last weekend, and both lakes reported large crowds of boaters and tourists enjoying the picture-perfect weather. A huge gathering of boaters were found near the Clinton County – Pickett County line on Dale Hollow Sunday afternoon on Dale Hollow Lake, in a location known as “The Cliffs.”

Below, another tradition of the Labor Day holiday is the picnic gathering. This one on Dale Hollow has been a tradition with this group for several decades, with friends from at least four different states coming together annually to mark the end of the tourism season with a potluck meal.
