Green Cove Pond Reopens with BoardSafe Accessible Fishing Pier
After years of restoration and accessible improvements, Green Cove Pond is once again welcoming anglers, and it’s better than ever!
As of March 1, 2026, Green Cove Pond officially reopened within the scenic Cherokee National Forest near Tellico Plains. Green Cove Pond is one of the most cherished trout fishing destinations in Tennessee. Its reopening represents a renewed commitment to conservation, accessibility, and community connection.
Over the course of the project, efforts were made to restore the pond’s ecosystem by removing more than 500 cubic yards of sediment, which deepened the pond and restored cooler and more oxygen-rich water that supports the Rainbow Trout population.
The new BoardSafe floating fishing pier connects the land to the water by an accessible gangway. Park infrastructure also offers ADA-compliant parking, sidewalks, and a picnic area. The extended walking trail around the pond also opens additional shoreline fishing opportunities, helping to spread out anglers and enhancing the overall fishing experience.
The accessible upgrades make the pond more welcoming to everyone, ensuring families, seniors, and individuals with mobility challenges can more easily enjoy time on the water, whether it’s their first visit or a long-awaited return.
Green Cove Pond is part of many park systems managed by the Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. The revitalized pond represents a long-term investment in conservation, stewardship, and community access. The updated amenities ensure that more people can experience the joy of fishing and the natural beauty of Tennessee’s mountains.
Whether you’re casting a line for the first time or returning to a favorite spot, Green Cove Pond is ready for you. We hope to see you out there enjoying the new park amenities!
