That is the Fontana Lake and dam. Back in the 30’s-40’s the Army Corp of Engineers flooded the town of Fontana in order to supply power to the valley. Remnants of the town can still be seen below the water’s surface…such as a sawmill, store, houses, etc.

I lived in Robbinsville most of my life, moved 5 years ago I don't why you would want to vacation in Robbinsville but now I understand I'm moving back home in a few months 😊

Fontana Dam is right up the road and is about 4 times bigger! The release from Fontana flows to the Cheoah dam. The release from Cheoah flows down the little Tennessee River to the Calderwood dam, the dam you saw off the dragon. The release from that dam then flows to the Chilhowee dam. Damn.

Thanks for the video man. I had a good visit up there last year. Can't wait to go back.

That dam is cheoah dam it was used in the movie The Fugitive with Harrison Ford and a Movie called In Dreams

Thanks Matthew! Good stuff!
