Share feedback or correctionCheoah Lake is a 644-acre reservoir on the Little Tennessee River in Graham and Swain counties, in the mountains of western North Carolina along the scenic US 129 "Tail of the Dragon" corridor. It was created in 1919 when the Tallassee Power Company (later Alcoa/Tapoco) completed Cheoah Dam, the first of the Tapoco hydroelectric developments; the project is now owned and operated by Brookfield Renewable as part of the Tapoco Project.
