TVA Fontana Dam Visitors Center

Visitors are consistently impressed by the stunning views of Fontana Lake and the experience of walking across the massive dam itself. The visitor center offers informative videos about the dam's history and the TVA project that are worth your time. While the scenery and engineering marvel earn high marks, be aware that the center keeps limited hours and the gift shop has had service issues with receipts and advertised discounts.
