Everything about Tellico Reservoir totally explained
Tellico Reservoir, also known as
Tellico Lake, is an
artificial lake in Tennessee, created by the
Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1979 upon the completion of
Tellico Dam. The dam impounds the
Little Tennessee River and the lower
Tellico River. While TVA is careful to refer to its artificial lakes as reservoirs (such as "Tellico Reservoir"), common usage tends to refer to the reservoir as "Tellico Lake".
Tellico Reservoir was the last major reservoir created by the TVA, in part due to the
snail darter controversy. The completion of Tellico Dam was nearly halted by a landmark decision by the
Supreme Court regarding the
Endangered Species Act. After Congress specifically exempted Tellico Dam from the Endangered Species Act, the work was finished was Tellico Reservoir created.
The Tellico Reservoir inundated several
Native American sites, including the historically significant sites of
Chota and
Tanasi. The controversial
Bat Creek inscription was also discovered adjacent to this lake.
