As I said yesterday, I knew that cold, cold water had to be coming from a dam. The trout fisherman we spoke to told us how to get over there.
Fontana Dam
(Since there were excellent information boards, I'm going to let them do the explaining.)
I didn't realize that the TVA system went so far into Kentucky and Mississippi.
You could almost feel the static from the electricity.
Fontana Dam has a very different kind of spillway. See those two tunnels...
Wow!! I would love to be there when the spillway is opened!!
Below is a video of the gates being opened. Watch for about 1:30 minutes, then jump up to 3:30 minutes. Amazing!
