An education professional who has worked for the Bristol Tennessee City Schools for more than 15 years, Cherith Roberts has served as an assistant principal and as a teacher of fifth and sixth grade students. In addition, Cherith Roberts enjoys spending time with her family on South Holston Lake on their pontoon boat.
A reservoir that covers nearly 7,600 acres, South Holston Lake is considered one of the top lakes in Tennessee. Moreover, the 640,000-acre Cherokee National Forest, which hosts many hiking trails, including part of the Appalachian Trail, borders more than half of the lake’s shoreline.
South Holston Lake is home to numerous fish species, including black bass, catfish, bluegill, sunfish, and walleye and is a favorite of fly fishermen. Aside from fishing, visitors can enjoy activities such as canoeing and jet skiing, as well as riding horses and caving in nearby areas. The lake also offers opportunities for a variety of organized recreational events that range from boat races to the annual Independence Day fireworks display.
