The Emory River is a 40-mile-long river in eastern Tennessee that flows into the Clinch River. The river has a rich history, having been used for transportation and industry in the past. It is fed by several smaller streams and has two major reservoirs: the Melton Hill Reservoir and the Emory River Impoundment. The Melton Hill Dam was built in 1963, creating the Melton Hill Reservoir, which serves as a source of hydroelectric power, flood control, and water supply. The Emory River Impoundment was created by the TVA in the 1970s to manage the flow of water in the river. The river also supports recreational activities such as fishing and boating, and provides irrigation for agricultural land in the region.
