Hiwassee Dam is a hydroelectric dam on the Hiwassee River in Cherokee County in the U.S. state of North Carolina. It is one of three dams on the river owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority which built the dam in the late 1930s to bring flood control and electricity to the region. The dam impounds the Hiwassee Lake of 6000 acres (2400 ha) and its tailwaters are part of Apalachia Lake.
