Tellico Lake - Fort Loudoun State Historical Park - Vonore, Tennessee

            Near the parking area for the visitor's center of Fort Loudoun State Historical Park is this great view of Tellico Lake and these beautiful Autumn colors. Technically a reservoir, it was created by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1979 upon the completion of Tellico Dam. The dam impounds the Little Tennessee River and the lower Tellico River. The lake (or reservoir) is approximately 16,000 acres in surface area and provides 357 miles of shoreline.

Tellico Reservoir was the last major reservoir created by the TVA, in part due to the snail darter controversy. The completion of Tellico Dam was nearly halted by a landmark decision by the Supreme Court regarding the Endangered Species Act. After Congress specifically exempted Tellico Dam from the Endangered Species Act, the work was finished and Tellico Reservoir created.

Three bracketed photos were taken with a handheld Nikon D7200 and combined with Photomatix Pro to create this HDR image.  Additional adjustments were made in Photoshop CS6.

"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future."  ~Jeremiah 29:11
