Before 9/11, I drove over to Wilson Dam with an older gentleman from H'sv who knew some of the history.
We didn't have an appointment or anything. Strangely enough, we knocked on a door at the dam, explained who we were and said we wanted to take a little tour. After a 5-minute wait, a guy showed up and showed us inside to look around.

I'd hate to see what would happen if, for instance, at Guntersville Dam one of the old metal intake gates broke free, was sucked into the pitcock and then into the turbine wheel or some other monstrous damage.
The flooding would be unbelieveable and tragic. Those dams are 70-plus years old. I hope the bolts and grates have been replaced since construction or they check on them regularly. I've thought about that a lot. Never been able to get TVA to tell me what to expect but I'm sure they know.

I went on a tour inside Hoover Dam several years ago. It is pretty amazing. There were some tough men that put that mountain of concrete in place. The water flowing through those giant metal pipes makes some weird noises inside that dam.

Fished in there many times. Just make sure your not in there when they kick on because the water level jumps several feet. Cool in the summertime

Good grief. An 11 year old thread. I went in those holes one time. That was enough for me.

Nice and shady and full of fish. It's a good place to go if you know what you're doing. I don't, so I don't go in there but there are others here on ALDEER that do and catch good fish.
If you’re a common sense person, you probably don’t feel you have a home in this world right now. If you’re a Christian, you know you were never meant to.

I don't fish near dams. It's unnerving to me and I don't like it at all. I stay as far away from them as possible.

I've been going under Guntersville dam my whole life. As long as they are running water it isn't a problem

We got to tour Guntersville one time in exactly the same way. Standing by that big ole spinning turbine drive shaft way down in the bowels of the dam was awe inspiring.
