Great people, responsible harbormaster and would you believe the boats at this marina float atop what used to be The Town of Concord?! Part of The Great Depression funding empowered TVA to build damns and impound what is now Fort Loudon Lake in 1942 thus enabling the Concord Marina. Yes, the Tennessee River runs through--the Army Corps of Engineers is empowered to maintain "the main channel" at a minimum depth of 9 feet (many areas are much deeper and dredging occurs every few years esp around Sequoyah Hills to Neyland Stadium). From the view at Concord Marina, the railroad had to be moved to its current location on the ridge (if in the parking lot or Lakeside Tavern look to the church across the water-- the railway is directly in front). The railroad prior to the early 1940's ran under the water close to the shore across from the marina. This is a large marina and has its Pirate Crew, Boat Parade, many socials, tie-up in a cove and of course, Vol Navy members. read more
