Nestled in the Gorge of the Tennessee River

This plant is located in the breathtaking Gorge of the Tennessee River only a few miles from the city of Chattanooga. Visitors are invited to tour the plant and to utilize the picnic and recreation facilities. This view shows the reservoir with an insert of the TVA powerhouse. Many visitors think that it looks like a scene from a science fiction movie. In actuality it is one of the finest examples of engineering to be found in the world today. From Interstate 24 at exit 174. drive about five miles north on Cummings Highway and follow the signs. Call (423) 825-3100 to inquire about escorted tours down into the powerhouse.
