Southern Living has featured Dale Hollow Lake and Overton County in a new article that highlights the lake's "crystal-clear water" and "world-class fishing" and describes the area as "a rare escape from the hustle and bustle of other popular lakes."

The article specifically mentions Livingston and showcases the region's fishing, scuba diving, wildlife watching, and broader outdoor recreation opportunities, introducing one of the most respected lifestyle publications in the country to the natural assets that residents of Overton County have long enjoyed.

"This is exactly the kind of national exposure that drives tourism dollars to our local businesses and puts Overton County on the map as a premier destination," said Zach Stephens, President & CEO of the Livingston/Overton County Chamber of Commerce. "When a publication like Southern Living spotlights our natural assets, it creates economic opportunities for our entire community, from the marinas and outfitters on the lake to the restaurants and shops on our downtown square."

Dale Hollow Lake, which straddles the Tennessee and Kentucky border, is known for its exceptional water clarity and holds the world record for smallmouth bass, and it draws anglers, divers, boaters, and families to Overton County throughout the year. Tourism generated $8.3 million in visitor spending in Overton County in 2024, and the Chamber, alongside Main Street Livingston, the City of Livingston, and Overton County, continues to work through its tourism development partnership to grow that impact.
