With water flying 150 feet up into the air & reentering the river with a crash about 400 feet downstream, this awesome event is rarely seen, but breathtakingly cool for those who were able to witness it. There is still an opportunity to see it tomorrow! #fontanadam #fontanalake #yournaturaldestination #828isgreat #smokymountains #visitnc | Fontana Village Resort & Marina | Facebook

Releasing water using Fontana's spillway tunnels is a rare occurrence and we're forecasted to release water for at least a week. #Fontana #ncwx | Tennessee Valley Authority | Facebook
