CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (AP) -- Crews have recovered the body of a teen from Chickamauga Lake.

Tennessee State Parks spokeswoman Meg Lockhart told WTVC-TV that the 16-year-old boy drowned while swimming at Harrison Bay State Park. A search began late Saturday afternoon for the teen and his body was recovered about 100 yards from shore around three hours later.

Authorities did not immediately release the boy's name.
