Your Gateway to the Cherokee Lake Life
At Cherokee Outdoor Resort, the marina is more than just a place to dock your boat — it is part of the full resort experience. Spend the day out on the lake, stop by our ship’s store and retail store for the essentials, fuel up before your next ride, and enjoy the convenience of on-site services designed to keep your day smooth and stress-free. When you are ready to unwind, head over to The Mudpuppy for great food, drinks, and a lively lakefront atmosphere, then settle in for the evening in one of our cabins at Cherokee Outdoor Resort. It is the kind of place where boating, dining, shopping, and staying all come together in one unforgettable setting on Tellico Lake. Cherokee’s current site already positions the resort around its marina, boat rentals, cabins, and The Mudpuppy lakefront dining experience.
