Center Hill Lake is a 64 mile long reservoir consisting of 415 miles of shoreline and 18,200 acres of deep, pure water for many species of fish.   Center Hill Dam is located on the Caney Fork River. Sligo is located on Highway 70, east of Smithville and west of Sparta, in beautiful DeKalb County, Tennessee.

Nearly all of the shoreline is undeveloped and natural.  Center Hill Lake is owned and managed by the Federal Government through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers.  There are three gorgeous waterfalls and many excellent places to hike, swim, and camp.  Also on the lake are eight marinas, five restaurants, one state park, nine Army Corps recreation areas, and the Joe L. Evins Appalachian Center for Crafts.  Sligo Marina is centrally located and easily accessible from Highway 70.
