Old Hickory Lake was constructed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers beginning
January, 1952. The dam was closed and the filling of the lake began June 11, 1954.
The lock opened to navigation June 14, 1954 and electrical power began production
April 5, 1957. The total cost of the project was $48,681,700.
The total length of Old Hickory Dam is 3,750 feet; 145 feet of that being the navigation
lock, 2,870 feet of earth and embankment, 355 feet of spillway, and the balance of 380
feet consisting of the powerhouse intake section. At the dam, there is a lock that was
constructed for navigation purposes which has a maximum lift of 63 feet from below
the dam to above the dam, with a chamber size of 84 feet by 400 feet.
Construction of the dam took 460,800 cubic yards of concrete; 1,650,600 cubic yards of
earth excavation; 169,000 cubic yards of rock excavation; 432,600 cubic yards of earth
fill; and 18,900 cubic yards of rock fill and rip rap.
The elevation of the reservoir at maximum pool level, which covers an area of 22,500
acres, is 445 feet above sea level. The normal minimum pool, which covers an area of
19,550 acres, is 442 feet above sea level. The backwater length of the reservoir at the
top of the gate level (mainstream) is 97.3 miles long. Old Hickory Reservoir at maximum
pool has 440 miles of shoreline and contains 467,000 acre feet of water. The water
shed area (the area of land from which the water feeds the lake) covers 11,674
square miles.
Old Hickory Dam is located on the Cumberland River at mile 216.2, and is in Davidson
and Sumner Counties, Tennessee, 25.5 miles upriver from Nashville. The counties
surrounding Old Hickory Lake include Davidson, Sumner, Wilson, Trousdale, and Smith
Counties.
