Boone Dam is a hydroelectric and flood control dam on the South Fork Holston River on the border between Sullivan County and Washington County in the U.S. state of Tennessee. It is one of three dams on the South Fork Holston owned and operated by the Tennessee Valley Authority, which built the dam in the early 1950s as part of greater efforts to control flooding in the Tennessee River watershed. The dam impounds the 4,500-acre (1,800 ha) Boone Lake, and its tailwaters are part of Fort Patrick Henry Lake.[1] The dam and associated infrastructure were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017.
Boone Dam is named for frontiersman Daniel Boone (1734-1820), who was active in the general area in the 1760s.[2]
