Summary

The Chickamauga Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Tennessee River in Chattanooga, Tennessee. It is one of nine dams in the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) system, and was completed in 1940. The dam is named after the Chickamauga Cherokee Indian village that once existed in the area. It is operated by the TVA to provide electricity, control flooding, and improve navigation on the river.
