Ratcliff Lake is the southern trailhead and start point of the 4 C National Recreation Trail in the Davy Crockett National Forest. The lake was once a mill pond for a sawmill, which operated in the early 20th century. At the site there are swimming areas, an amphitheater, camping grounds and a plethora of wildlife.
