..Tennessee!
Yes, if you guessed Tennessee, you were right.

This is Lake Watauga in the Appalachian Mountains. Created in 1948 by the TVA, it covers about 10 miles in a very rural part of the state. It's really beautiful.
And, remote. You can only get to it by taking winding mountain roads. We had to take a left by the Baptist church and drive through a Confederate cemetery to get to our friends' house on the shore.
I do find it a little creepy that underneath this lake, there are towns that were flooded when this lake was formed. Apparently they drain the lake every 20 years -- and you can see the towns that lay beneath.
