BARKLEY DAM LOCK THROUGH


The Kentucky Lake Sailing Club is inviting everyone to join us this Saturday May 21, 2012.

 

You can read some preparatory information on the TVA website that will give you some good information on what to expect and preparedness and even has a virtual lock through available online to help you get a feel for the locking process, you can make a virtual lock-through at the Fort Loudoun lock in Lenoir City, Tenn. The virtual lock through uses a 360 degree camera and QuickTime video to give you a full circle view of the locking process. Look for it near the bottom of this website:
