I put this guide together for buyers who want the water close by. Some of these homes sit right on the shoreline, and others are a short walk or drive from a ramp or marina. The shoreline on these lakes belongs to the Corps of Engineers, so owning a lakefront lot does not by itself give you a dock. Percy Priest allows no private docks at all. I always confirm dock and shoreline rules with the Corps of Engineers and the HOA before you make an offer.
