Fort Loudoun Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Tennessee River in Loudon County Tennessee in the southeastern United States. The dam is operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) which built the dam in the early 1940s as part of a unified plan to provide electricity and flood control in the Tennessee Valley and create a continuous 652-mile (1049 km) navigable river channel from Knoxville Tennessee to Paducah Kentucky. It is the uppermost of nine TVA dams on the Tennessee River.
