The Dale Hollow Dam is a concrete embankment dam located on the Cumberland River in Tennessee. Completed in 1943, it was built for flood control, hydroelectric power generation, and recreation. The dam creates Dale Hollow Lake, which is popular for fishing, boating, and camping. The dam is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has a total capacity of 1,000 megawatts of electricity. It plays a crucial role in managing water flow and reducing flood risks in the surrounding areas. The lake and dam are also vital for local wildlife and ecosystems.
