The TWRA has released dramatic new video in an effort to remind all boaters and anglers to prioritize safety near hydroelectric dams across Tennessee’s rivers and lakes. Over the past decade, there have been 17 fatalities caused by boaters getting caught in and around the spillways of hydroelectric dams in Tennessee. Officers determined that incidents were not dam specific but were spread out across the state. Pickwick, Cheatham, and Loudon dams all had multiple fatalities.
