Mission Dam, NC a Out There! Short Tale!
Mission Dam. Located between Hiawassee Dam and Chatuge Dam was actually the first dam built on the Hiawassee River in 1924. Built by the City of Andrews bought by Nantahala Power and Light in 1929 which was acquired by Duke Power in 1988.. As of this recording, it looked to Out There! as if Duke has removed their name from all of the signs on the property... But beyond this, there is very little information out there about the place. Even growing up in the area this dam was very obscure and it took Out There! a few trips down Mission Dam Rd to finally find the entrance to the facility. A hiking trail of sorts goes back up the reservoir and it seems like a nice peaceful place to cast a line or just relax by the water. This Dam has supplied the local population with energy for a very long time. And as it seems it still does so today even though who operates the facility and how the power is distributed and charged to the citizens is a bit of a mystery...
A lot of technical information about the area and the dam can be found at this link if you are interested.

The best way to find out though as Out There! has always found is just to simply....
