Published on June 28, 2016

Coming this 4th of July to Lenoir City, a best place to retire in Tennessee, is the annual 'Rockin The Docks At Tellico Lake' celebration. As always, the city has tons of fun, festivities, and children's activities planned. Those who go can expect live music, cookouts and plenty of food, rock climbing, fireworks, a play area, and more. It's a great day to be by the lake and enjoy 4th of July festivities.

'Rockin The Docks' will be celebrated at Lenior City Park, with food vendors serving up a feast at 1 p.m. Starting at 5 p.m. sharp, live entertainment will feature:

  • RMS at 5:00 p.m.
  • Mike Mcgill and The Refills at 6:45 p.m.
  • The Coveralls at 8:30 p.m. 

And at 10 p.m., the sky will light up with an all-American fireworks display. If you do attend, organizers ask that you leave pets at home and, as always, alcoholic beverages will be prohibited. 

Tellico Lake is the perfect place for a summer celebration. With more than 350 miles of shoreline, the lake is one of the great destinations in Eastern Tennessee. People flock there for boating, swimming, fishing, cookouts, and the natural scenery. If you like golf, there are several world-class golf courses that play by the lake. And if you like to walk or hike, there are miles of excellent nature trails by the shoreline and nearby forests.

To protect its natural beauty, The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) has banned all residential development use on the properties surrounding Tellico Lake that have not already been sold. The ban makes properties along the lake prime real estate. Therefore, if you are looking for Tellico Lake homes, now is the time to buy in the best place to retire in Tennessee.

Around the lake, there are beautiful waterfront retirement communities with Tellico Lake homes. Many are safe and gated communities with first-class amenities, and some of the most incredible homes in all of Tennessee. The lakefront communities in the area include:

Tellico Village - Nestled in the Tennessee foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains, Tellico Village is one of the top waterfront retirement communities on Tellico Lake.

The community's first-class amenities help residents enjoy a truly special and fulfilling active lifestyle, with hiking trails, clubhouses, a yacht club and more. If you are interested in healthy senior living, this is a wonderful place to look for Tellico Lake homes.

Rarity Bay - In the foothills of the Great Smoky Mountains is Rarity Bay, a master-planned community featuring beautiful Tellico Lake homes with French Country architecture, amenities for a healthy life, and outdoor activities. With 960 acres along Tellico Lake, and only a short drive into Knoxville, Rarity Bay is a natural gem just miles from the city. Here you'll find waterfront, water view and golf course home sites, custom estate homes, villas and condominiums right beside the shore. Residents here enjoy walking trails, golf, swimming and tennis, horseback riding and more.
