Bat Creek flows into Tellico Lake at approximately Mile 12, forming one of the longer tributary coves on this segment. The flooded valley stretches nearly two miles back from the main channel, providing sheltered water popular with anglers targeting bass, crappie, and bream along the wooded shoreline. The cove narrows progressively as you move inland, transitioning from open lake water to a quieter, tree-lined channel — a scenic detour well worth the short diversion from the main route.
