Fort Patrick Henry Dam & Lake
www.tva.com/sites/fortpatrickhenry.htm Gray, TN
Built by TVA primarily for hydropower, this 10-mile, 872-
acre dam also regulates waterflow downstream
for local industry. It was completed in 1953 and named for a
nearby Revolutionary War fort constructed
to defend settlers from Cherokee attacks.
Today, the reservoir is a popular site for
fishing, known for rainbow trout, bluegill,
bass and crappie.
Warrior's Path State Park is located on the reservoir. Directions: Take exit 59 on I-81 and go north on Highway 36 approximately 2 miles. Cross the Holston River and the exit to the lake is on the right.
