Fontana Dam
This dam is the tallest east of the Rockies, at 480ft. It offers many boating and fishing opportunities and access to remote, historic areas of the Smoky Mountains National Park. The Tennessee Valley Authority built it because of an urgent need for electric power during the Second World War, and construction began in 1942 and was finished in only 36 months.
Fontana Dam is known to be one of the most beautiful dams worldwide. Besides providing us with hydroelectric power and controlling floods throughout the region, the lake constructed behind it on the Little Tennessee River is a favored spot for many kinds of outdoor recreations. This includes fishing, boating, and hiking.
