Share feedback or correctionApalachia Lake is a small, deep, run-of-river reservoir of about 1,070 acres on the Hiwassee River in Cherokee County, in the far southwestern mountains of North Carolina west of Murphy. It was built by the Tennessee Valley Authority between 1941 and 1943, primarily to generate hydroelectric power during World War II, and it lies immediately downstream of Hiwassee Dam within the Nantahala National Forest.
