TVA Lakes
Tennessee Valley Authority was created in 1933 to construct
a system of dams and lakes on the Tennessee River, the nation’s
fifth largest river system, to improve navigation and control
floods. Four dams located in Northeast Tennessee are open
for public viewing during daylight hours. The TVA system
of lakes provides not only power for Northeast Tennessee,
but offers vast recreational opportunities as well. Hundreds
of miles of shoreline and thousands of acres of water await
the fisherman, boating enthusiast, camper and nature lover.
For general TVA information, contact 865-632-2101.
