PROJECTS
During January 2014 we had a section of the roof to collapse under a heavy snow load. Dad wasn't in a hurry to repair it because it was winter and no one was using it. No boats were damaged. Then with all the guidelines imposed by the USFS and TVA it was more than an 82 yr old could handle. For years I had helped him at the marina with both. In early 2016 we started handling it for him. He passed away on Memorial Day weekend while we still waited on the USFS to approve our permit. Before his death we made a promise to him to rebuild it. We did a complete demolition of the original dock and have constructed a new one. I am his daughter, Lisa. Mac and I are continuing that promise. After waiting over a year for the permit and getting help from Beverly Elliott @ Mark Meadows office we opened Memorial Day weekend 2018. One year after his passing. Since then we launched additional slips. I think he would be proud. Please come by and see what we have done.
Bear with us during our construction period. We still have a lot going on.
Check back with us for more information on the new campsites that will be coming. I know a lot of you have been waiting for this.
We hope to see you soon!

ABOUT US
My parents purchased this marina in 1955 when in only consisted of 10 open slips and 10 sets
of lockers which fishermen needed to keep their fishing tackle in. The original location was in Hiwassee Lake Resort which later than became Bear Paw. Then it would have been similar to a Norman Rockwell painting when we had a less complicated lifestyle. They wanted the marina to be open 6mo and close when the lake levels dropped. In 1974 they decided to move it out of the cove at Bear Paw and closer to their home near mile marker #3. The home they built on top of the mountain above the marina is where my mother lived until 2-10-22 when she passed away. Over the years our customers have met my two sons Andy and Brad when they worked summers for my Dad. Pictured above along with me are their sons.
Meet the 3rd generation of lake lovers, their sons. They are pictured with me above enjoying Hiwassee Lake. Meet (l to r)Chase, Colt, Cade and Connor! We love these guys and want to continue a family tradition.
Here, you’ll find not just a place to dock your boat, but a legacy built on family, friendship, and a love for the lake.
The physical location is 400 Harbor Cove Lane with our email address being lisa@harborcovemarina.com
