John W. Flannagan Dam — photo spot in 192, White Water Rd, Haysi, VA 24256, USA
John W. Flannagan Dam
Score4.5Concrete gravity dam set in narrow Appalachian valley with a long reservoir, rocky shorelines and forested ridges — strong compositions from the crest, downstream spillway and shoreline overlooks. Best at golden hour and blue hour for reflections and color; autumn brings peak foliage. Small parking/visitor areas off White Water Rd; short walks to overlooks and riverbanks. Check seasonal water-release schedules and local drone rules. Weekday mornings are quiet; expect variable mountain weather.
