"The locals in Oak Ridge, Tennessee have turned thier course into one of the worlds's finest." ~ Rowing News (Aug 07)

The Oak Ridge Rowing Association (ORRA) uses the Melton Hill Rowing Course to conduct regattas for past 30 years. Melton Hill Lake is known as one of the best rowing venues in the United States. Melton Hill Lake, which is fed by the Clinch River, is part of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) waterway system and TVA regulates flows during competitions to less than .06 meters per second. The venue, which is protected by hills on each side, which limits wind problems, also features a sheltered embayment with multiple docks for easy launching during events. The 2000-meter rowing course provides 7 straight lanes fully buoyed . The quality of the course, a track record of quality events and a willingness on the part of the community to support such events are prime reasons for staging many prestigious regattas in Oak Ridge.
