Cedar Pond Farms
Jefferson County, Tennessee calls itself the Lakeside of the Smokies for a reason: Cherokee Lake stretches over 30,000 acres with nearly 400 miles of shoreline, and Douglas Lake has been named a Bassmaster Top-100 bass lake. Between them, the tournament calendar here reads like a national tour — per the Jefferson County tourism office, which schedules events at the Douglas Lake Dandridge TWRA ramp and the Cherokee Lake TVA Dam ramp.
The tournaments that come here
- Strike King Bassmaster College Series National Championship — fished on Cherokee Lake out of Jefferson City (July 10–12, 2025).
- Bill Dance Giant Bass Open — the legend's own event, right here on the Lakeside of the Smokies.
- Morristown Marine Team Trail — qualifying stops on Cherokee Lake and Douglas Lake through 2025 and 2026, alongside Norris, South Holston and Watts Bar.
The farm stay between the ramps
Cedar Pond Farms sits in New Market — minutes from the Cherokee Lake ramps and an easy drive to Dandridge for Douglas. Our farm lanes hold your truck and boat with room to spare, and outdoor outlets for overnight trickle charging, so blast-off morning starts with batteries at full.
Practice on our pond
The farm's own two-acre pond is stocked with catch-and-release catfish — perfect for testing a new rod, teaching a kid to cast, or unwinding after weigh-in. (Our guests wrote the book on it: Fishing the Catfish Pond on a Tennessee Farm Stay.)
Bring the family
While you fish the tournament, the crew back at the farm collects fresh eggs, watches the Highland herd graze, and books the Premium Highland Cow Experience — two hours in the field with the fluffiest cows in Tennessee. See the farm stays and claim tournament week early.
