Cordell Hull Lake is a lake in the Cumberland River in north-central Tennessee, about forty miles east of Nashville, in the vicinity of Carthage. It covers approximately 12,000 acres (49 km²).

Cordell Hull Dam, on the Cumberland River, was built by the United States Army Corps of Engineers between May 1963 and November 1973 for navigation, hydroelectric power generation and recreation.^[4] The dam is a concrete and earthen gravity structure, 87 feet high (above streambed), with a generator capacity of 100 megawatts.^[5] It impounds 259,100 acre-feet (0.3196 km³) at normal maximum pool, with a maximum flood storage of 310,900 acre-feet (0.3835 km³).

Both are named for Cordell Hull, former United States Secretary of State.^[2]
