We have increased releases from Fontana Reservoir to 18,600 cubic feet per second (139,500 gallons per second) to help bring Fontana Lake levels back to normal summer elevations. Releasing water using Fontana's spillway tunnels is a rare occurrence and we're forecasted to release water for at least a week. #Fontana #ncwx | Tennessee Valley Authority

Fontana Dam release is happening this weekend. With water flying 150 feet up into the air & reentering the river with a crash about 400 feet downstream, this awesome event is rarely seen, but breathtakingly cool for those who were able to witness it. There is still an opportunity to see it tomorrow! #fontanadam #fontanalake #yournaturaldestination #828isgreat #smokymountains #visitnc | Fontana Village Resort & Marina
