HENRY COUNTY, VA – The Dam Spillway Road at Philpott Lake and Dam will be closed from August 15, 2022 through the fall of 2024, due to construction work at the dam, powerhouse, and hillside.
The closure will impact the Henry County Tailrace Canoe Launch, located at 810 Dam Spillway Road in Bassett, as it will be inaccessible during the closure.
Fisherman and paddlers are encouraged to use the Franklin County Tailrace, which is located at 2500 Riverbrook Road in Henry.
Questions about the closure should be directed to Operations Project Manager Chris Powell at 276-629-4512.
