Checking the official lake and weather feeds. This usually takes a few seconds.

Water-safety note: Generation and release schedules can change without notice, and a large amount of water may be discharged without warning. Verify official USACE and TVA information before approaching dam or tailwater areas, and obey every posted warning.

Center Hill Lake field card

This is the short version I would want in my pocket: the address, the nearest public access, who to call first and what still needs a live check.

Public information reviewed September 20, 2026
Life-threatening emergency: call 911.

For guests at The Little Lake House, give dispatch: 2690 Puckett Point Road, Smithville, TN 37166 · DeKalb County.

Call 911

Nearest public access

Puckett Point

The public ramp is at the end of Puckett Point Road, a short distance beyond the house. It is an active launch—not a swimming beach. Keep the lane and turnaround clear. I would walk down first before taking an unfamiliar trailer; lake level, traffic and the working room can change.

Launches, fuel and services

Use the right kind of access

A public ramp and a full-service marina solve different problems. Marina hours, fuel availability, rental rules and launch access can change by season, so the useful promise here is a direct call—not a stale guarantee.

Before any tailwater or boating day

Open the live lake panel and the official USACE links. Generation proposals, releases, closures and weather can change after this card was saved.
