Shoreline Management

View of the shoreline at Cheatham LakeShoreline Management Plan (2005)

Cheatham Lake is a popular site for a variety of outdoor recreational activities.  Recreational demands and pressures associated with adjacent development increase each year, yet the total amount of public land and water remains fixed.  The public continues to agree that sound management is necessary to provide optimum use of lake resources for present and future generations. 

The draft of the 2010 update of the Cheatham Lake Shoreline Management Plan (SMP) has been approved.  The plan provides policies and guidelines for the effective long-range management of the shoreline resources of the lake. The key objective of the plan is to balance private shoreline uses with the preservation of the natural environmental conditions of the lake.

The draft plan is posted below and copies are available to interested parties by contacting the Resource Managers Office at (615) 254-3734. Until the new plan is finalized, the 2005 Shoreline Management Plan will remain in effect.  Recieve a copy of Cheatham Lake's Shoreline Management Plan please call (615) 254-3734 or visiting Resource Managers Office at: 1798 Cheatham Dam Road, Ashland City, TN 37015-9805.  The 2005 Shoreline Management Plan and 2010 draft Shoreline Management Plan will be available online soon.  Please check back for updates.
