TVA closes Cherokee Dam recreation area
In response to enhanced public health guidance from federal and state authorities, the Tennessee Valley Authority is closing additional public recreation areas to help slow the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The closures will begin today and will continue indefinitely. Included in the move is the TVA recreation area at Cherokee Dam. Boat ramps at the dam will also be closed, as well as all picnic areas, restrooms, beaches and pavilions. The public is asked to not bypass gates, fences or barricades to access the closed areas. Law enforcement officers will be patrolling closed areas. TVA river access points located outside the affected recreation areas, including Douglas Dam, remain open at this time. Trails on the more than 200,000 acres of undeveloped public land TVA manages also remain open at this time. TVA is continuing to monitor the COVID-19 outbreak and will take additional actions, as necessary, to help protect public health and safety.
