Discovered someplace new

[marvinsc]

I got off early today and the temp. was mid 60's with sunshine so I decided to go exploring. I was looking for some new curvy roads in Northwest Tennessee without much success. I was heading generally toward home when I took a side road and soon saw a sign for Garrett Lake. I had never heard of it but I was in Weakley county Tennessee about 25 miles from home. The road meandered around for a few miles then came to a stop. THe main road went Right but to the left I could see the lake. I took the 1 1/2 lane access road and here is proof I was a Garrett Lake today.







It is a very pretty lake maintained by the TN department of fish and wildlife. Never been before but I will be back! I'm sure it was beautiful when the leaves were turning.

An adventure taking the long way home. Sounds great.

Did you see any fish and wildlife?

Saw some fish jumping, probably large mouth bass. No wild critters but lots of dogs out and about.

Well, I just figured that if they have an entire department for fish and wildlife that maybe you might see some fish and wildlife.
THought you might make some comment about "wildlife".
Michigan must not have wildlife, we have a Department of Natural Resources.

Nice that you found a new interesting place on your afternoon adventure. I suspect you will make other such "long-way-home-from-work" adventures and go back to there at various times of the year.

What goes on in that area called "The land between the lakes" and the road 453 called "The Trace" ?

I try to get over to Reelfoot Lake a couple of times a year. Went earlier this Summer and ate at Boyettes.

The Trace is the highway that runs North-South the entire length of the Land Between the Lakes National Recreation area from Grand Rivers KY on the North end to Dover TN on the South end, about 60 miles. This Pic is at Lighthouse Landing near Grand Rivers.
