Harms Mill Dam: the most significant dam removal in Tennessee history! This project reconnects 1,114 miles of the Elk River, opening vital pathways for fish and other aquatic wildlife migration. Led by Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency (TWRA), the effort took more than three years of planning, assessment, funding, and implementation—culminating in the dam’s removal in October 2025. Built in the 1870s, the dam had long deteriorated into an abandoned structure that posed serious safety concerns

This is what Summersville Lake looks like once the water has gone down the Gauley. Water starts draining from the Summersville Dam and into the Gauley River, each fall, creating class V rapids that create the Gauley rafting season. The summertime boat ramp becomes a durable path to walk down to the otherworldly landscape. Just be careful of the mud! https://visitwv.com/about/our-area/nicholas-county/ #visitwv | Visit Southern West Virginia

Feels illegal to get this close the the second largest rock-fill dam in the Eastern USA. Summersville Dam towers 390 ft high and stretches 2.280 ft long, holding back the Gauley River until it's released for world-class whitewater every fall 🌊. #Gauley #KayakLife #Hydrology #WestVirginia #AlmostHeaven #beenhavingdreams #BeastoftheEast | NRG Video Production
