Full pool for Nickajack Lake is approximately 633.5 feet (193.1 m) above sea level, and remains consistent during the course of the year, unlike nearby Chickamauga Lake. The world record for freshwater drum was caught from Nickajack Lake in 1972 by Benny Hull, and weighed in at 54 pounds 8 ounces (24.7 kg). A lake sturgeon was caught in ...
Nickajack is serviced by a 600-by-110-foot (183 by 34 m) auxiliary lock that can lift or lower as many as nine large barges at a time 41 feet (12 m) between Guntersville Lake and Nickajack Lake. The dam's original design allowed for an 800-by-110-foot (244 by 34 m) main lock beside the auxiliary, but it was never completed.
Therefore, mean depth figures are not available for many deep lakes in remote locations. [9] The average lake on Earth has the mean depth 41.8 meters (137.14 feet) [9] The Caspian Sea ranks much further down the list on mean depth, as it has a large continental shelf (significantly larger than the oceanic basin that contains its greatest depths).
