Water pours over a broad stone spillway here, set among trees in a wooded valley along the Blue Ridge Parkway. The Parkway was planned in the 1930s as a scenic road linking Shenandoah National Park in Virginia with the Great Smoky Mountains in North Carolina and Tennessee, and its builders relied on stonework like this to manage runoff and steady the slopes. Dams and spillways of this kind were built with local rock, laid by hand, so they blend into the landscape while still doing practical work. The structure is worth a close look for the way its masonry follows the curve of the water.
