Lake Echols Dam

A recreational impoundment built by the Commission as a civic amenity for valley residents.

Lake Echols Dam was constructed by the Appalachian Energy & Mine Commission as part of its community investment in the Carraway Gorge valley. The impoundment created a small recreational lake that served Mill Hollow residents through the Commission’s operational period and was cited by the Commission as evidence of its investment in the community’s quality of life.

The lake is still present. The dam structure is in a state of minimal maintenance.
