Yes....both the above posts are spot on....Id highly advise your friends to go to LOTO. TRL is boring, has nothing to do...and you cant build on the water, and bass boats are the only boat allowed on the water. Just make sure your buddies are up to date on their Tetanus shots and have built up a resistance to every strain of flesh eating bacteria known to man if they plan on swimming in the LOTO cess pool.
This will now get interesting.....

if you want a happy medium between the 2 lakes, the west side on LOTO is pretty ideal. my parents just moved down there, I wanted them to get down on the main part of the lake but they wanted peace and quite and to have a house with privacy. they ended up on MM80, there are still bars and things to do but there is not nearly the crowd that I am use to seeing between like mm10-34 where I am usually at. properties are cheaper too. something that you should know before starting your search that we found out the hard way, if you are taking out a mortgage the bank is going to want the property to have either a public road and public water supply or they want to see a home owners association that has signed agreements from the residents so take care of the roads and water supply. the list of houses my parents were looking at went from 150 down to 13 once they figured that out.

TRL for sure. Much better lake conditions if you are actually into "boating," tie ups, coving(crystal clear water!), and lake water sports. We've got a 27 foot Check and can pretty much run it WOT. That's for sure nice, to be able to run a performance boat like a performance boat ANYTIME we want! Sure, holiday weekends can make for some choppy conditions on TRL in certain spots. There are also a few places to eat on the water and plenty of marinas. We don't need one every 50 foot. LOL
As far as "lake front". TRL has "lake front" but most people prefer homes with a magnificent, panoramic, breathtaking "lake views" and take a short ride via a golf cart to the slip. As far as having a private dock, that's over rated also, TRL does have a few private docks but most docks are community docks. We own a slip on a dock with 16 slips and have all the privacy you can ask for and it only costs $200/yr dues. We also have plenty of "eyes" watching over things, which is comforting. We really, honestly could not be happier with our slip setup and would not want the responsibility of maintaining a private dock and all the expenses that go with that.
We have boated at LOTO a few times and probably will tow there once a year or every other year in the future just for a change of scenery. We are actually looking at attending some events on Cumberland and Kentucky Lake so we do like to check out other lakes.
