Ocoee Dam No. 3
Ocoee Dam No. 3 is a hydroelectric dam on the Ocoee River in Polk County, in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is one of four dams on the Toccoa/Ocoee River owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which built the dam in the early 1940s to meet emergency demands for electricity during World War II. The dam impounds the Ocoee No. 3 Reservoir, which stretches upriver to the Tennessee-Georgia state line.〔Tennessee Valley Authority, (Ocoee Reservoir No. 3 ). Retrieved: 23 January 2009.〕 Ocoee No. 3's powerhouse is actually located several miles downstream from the dam, and is fed by a conduit that carries water to it from the reservoir.〔Tennessee Valley Authority, ''The Hiwassee Valley Projects Volume 2: The Apalachia, Ocoee No. 3, Nottely, and Chatuge Projects'', Technical Report No. 5 (Washington, D.C.: U.S. Government Printing Office, 1948), pp. 1-13, 40, 47, 63, 295, 494.〕
==Location==
Ocoee Dam No. 3 is located above the mouth of the Ocoee River, where the river slices a deep gap between Little Frog Mountain to the north and Big Frog Mountain to the south. Both of these mountains are protected by federal wilderness areas which are adjacent to TVA's Ocoee No. 3 reservation boundary. Ocoee Dam No. 2 is just downstream, and Blue Ridge Dam is upstream. The Toccoa River, which flows down from its source in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Georgia, enters Tennessee (where it becomes the Ocoee River) approximately upstream from Ocoee Dam No. 3, near the Copperhill area. The Ocoee Scenic Byway— which is part of U.S. Route 64— passes just north of the dam.
