This peaceful and relaxing scene depicts the Weir Dam on South Holston River in Northeast Tennessee.

Built by TVA in 1991, the weir creates a sustained habitat for aquatic life, especially bass and trout. South Holston River is known around the globe for its wonderful trout fishing.
The Weir Dam at South Holston near Bristol, Tennessee, stands as a testament to engineering ingenuity and its impact on local communities. Constructed on the South Holston River, this dam serves multiple purposes, including flood control, water supply management, and power generation. The weir, a low-level structure designed to control water flow, plays a crucial role in regulating the river's discharge. Beyond its functional significance, the Weir Dam has become a local landmark, contributing to the economic and recreational vitality of the Bristol area. The South Holston River is known for some of the finest trout fishing in the world, and the its Osceola Island offers many recreational opportunities.
