Wilson Lock and Dam

  • March 29, 2006
  • Rated 2 of 5 by NiteOwlTX from LaPlace, Louisiana
Wilson Lock and Dam

Created by the Tennessee Valley Authority during the post-World War II reconstruction era, the Wilson dam is one of five on the Tennessee River within this area.

Here you will find a large day use facility that overlooks the dam and the river. There are also some nature trails here, but they are close to roads and not far enough to the interior to feel like real nature trails. From the overlook above the dam, you can watch ships passing through the locks. Due to 9/11 security risks, the visitors center and tours of the dam are temporarily closed.
