Nickajack Dam
Nickajack Dam
is a
hydroelectric dam
in
Marion County
in the
U.S. state
of
Tennessee
. It is one of nine dams on the
Tennessee River
owned and operated by the
Tennessee Valley Authority
, which built the dam in the mid-1960s to replace the outdated
Hales Bar Dam
upstream. The dam impounds the
Nickajack Lake
and feeds into
Guntersville Lake
. Nickajack Dam is named for a
Cherokee
village once located just upstream from the dam (the site is now submerged). The village was the namesake for
Nickajack Cave
, which was partially flooded by the reservoir.
