The Taneycomo Dam, also known as Powersite, seen above is normally an awesome site. During the flood, it was not much more than a ripple. |

The Taneycomo Dam, also known as Powersite, seen above is normally an awesome site. Taneycomo / Powersite dam was built in 1913. Excess water from Taneycomo not used for power generation is allowed to spill over the top of the spillway into Bull Shoals. The top of the dam has been raised approximaty 6 foot utilizing a removable wood structure. This wood structure is removed at times to release greater amounts of water out of Taneycomo to help reduce flooding upstream. With Bull Shoals at flood stage, the Taneycomo Dam is not much more that a ripple in the high current. The pictures do not show the violent and dangerous water that is just below Taneycomo Dam. Through the years, there have been several reports of boats going over the dam. To my knowledge, no has drowned. |
