Chickamauga Dam handling flood waters.The Tennessee Valley Authority will close the public beach near the Chickamauga Dam on Monday night and Tuesday to allow work crews to install a new public restroom.
TVA spokesman Scott Fiedler said the public boat ramp at the day-use area near Kings Point Road and Amnicola Highway will remain open.
But the beach and swimming area near the dam will close at sunset Monday and reopen at 6 a.m. Wednesday, weather permitting.
The Chickamauga beach is one of the most popular and widely used of TVA’s day-use areas in the utility’s seven-state region.
