292/R365 - J. Percy Priest Dam & Lake Sunset - Hermitage, Tennessee

J. Percy Priest Dam (seen on the right side of the photograph above) was built at mile 6.8 on the Stones River, a tributary of the Cumberland River. Construction began June 2, 1963 and the dam was completed in 1968. Rising 130 feet above the stream bed, the combination earth & concrete-gravity dam is 2,716 feet long with a hydroelectric power generating plant. The dam has contributed significantly in reducing the frequency & severity of flooding in the Cumberland Valley since its construction. In addition to the far reaching effects of flood control, the project contributes to the available electric power supply of this area as well. Average annual energy output is 70 million kilowatt hours.

J. Percy Priest Lake (also see above behind the dam) encompasses portions of Davidson, Rutherford, and Wilson Counties in Middle Tennessee. It is 42-miles long with 213 miles of shoreline and contains 14,200 surface acres of water. The lake provides ample water area for recreation, fishing, and a great opportunity for great photography!

This photo was taken in 2013 during my previous Project 365…please visit my album for this “REMASTERED” Project 365 as I revisit each day of 2013 for additional photos to share!!
