Conversion of Hiwassee Dam
To State Park Is Under Way
TYA's Hiwassee Dam Village
and about 800 acres of adjoining
|k land on Hiwassee Lake will be
v converted from a construction and
? operations-personnel village into a
e new North Carolina State Park.
? at i aiding to the terms of a lease
Hth&t has been signed by the it ite
l.n, TVA
; I The village, built in 1936 in
?connection with construction of
Hlliwassee Dam. lies in the scenic I
?southwestern tip of North Caro- 1
jSlina. Its houses and other struc- >
natures are considered adaptable I
?for public recreation purposes and |
? will serve as the nuclous of the |
? proposed state park development.
?This will be the first state park in
?this westernmost part of North
?Carolina.
In addition to providing hous- 1
ing accommodations for vacation- 1
ists. picnic areas, boat dock ser
vices and other attractions, the
North Carolina Division of Fores
try and Parks is authorized by the
lease to establish a fishing boat
dock on TVA's Apalachia Lake,
just below Hiwassee Dam. if such
a facility is found desirable. Both
Apalachia and Hiwassee Lakes
have become increasingly popular
with fishermen, and development
of Hiwassee Dam Village as a
state park will afford an oppor
tunity to provide recreational ac
commodations that sportsmen
have been seeking in this area.
Before obtaining the village by |
lease, North Carolina park offi- 1
cials prepared a preliminary |
master plan of proposed expan- 1
sion. This plan will servo .;s a
guide to the park's development,
especially during the three-year
initial period of the lease. After
three years, the lease is auto
matically renewable for an ad
ditional 1G years, if public demand
and use have demonstrated the
need for the village and surround
ing lakeshore acreage as a state
park.
About 30 of the 63 housing units
in the village will be reserved
for an indefinite period for oc
cupancy by employees of the U.
S Navy Ordnance Laboratory at
Hiwassee Dam, and TVA person
nel stationed in the area for opera
tion of powerhouses and mainten
ance of TVA properties.
