What Kind of
Lake Person Are You?

Some people come to Center Hill Lake to move. Some come to disappear. Some want the best meal, the best trail, the quietest cove, or exactly nothing on the schedule. Take the field test and I’ll tell you what kind of weekend you should actually have.
Tony’s Local Guide · The Little Lake House · Smithville, Tennessee

There is no single “right” way to do Center Hill Lake. That is exactly why generic top-ten lists are so useless.

This quiz pulls from the same local landscape covered throughout Tony’s Guide — Puckett Point, waterfalls, hiking, boating, food, Smithville, rainy days, history, slow weekends and the cabin itself — but it uses those pieces differently. Your answers build a travel personality, then a weekend around it.

Answer honestly. Nobody gets points for pretending they want a sunrise hike when what they really want is coffee, a hot tub and no pants with buttons.

    The Six Lake Personalities

    Nobody is only one of these. The quiz finds the one that should probably be driving the weekend.
    The decompressor

    The Cove Drifter

    Your luxury is unclaimed time. Puckett Point, the deck, the hot tub, a slow breakfast and one good outing beat a packed itinerary.

    The spectacle seeker

    The Waterfall Hunter

    You want the payoff. Big water, dramatic overlooks, strange geology and something worth pulling the camera out for.

    The water person

    The Lake Captain

    The lake is not scenery. It is the activity. Boat, paddle, swim, fish, explore coves and stay out until the light goes soft.

    The place person

    The Local Forager

    You travel through food, history, shops, music and the details that make Smithville different from the next town.

    The two-person traveler

    The Sunset Pair

    Your best trip is built around connection: one beautiful outing, one very good meal and enough room to actually notice each other.

    The earned-rest traveler

    The Ridge Chaser

    You want the trail, the overlook and the tired legs. Relaxation feels better after you have done something worth recovering from.

    make the cabin part of the trip.
