FORT LOUDOUN LOCK TOUR!Join us on a walking tour on the deck of the Ft. Loudoun Lock! Construction of Fort Loudoun Dam began in 1940 and was completed in 1943. The dam is 122 feet high and stretches 4,190 feet across the Tennessee River. The 60- by 360-foot lock at Fort Loudoun raises and lowers river craft about 70 feet between the reservoir and Watts Bar Reservoir. Barges passing through the Fort Loudoun lock carry about half a million tons of cargo a year. The tour lasts approximately 2 hours and we are limited to 50 people. Each participant must complete a General Tour Request Form which will be provided at sign-up. Direction to the lock will be provided to all attendees. This event will be offered at the February, March and April HOA Socials. COST: NO FEE! Click here for a printable flyer. Contact: Rich Comiso, 865-458-7176 Email: [email protected] |
