HENRY COUNTY, V.A. – The Dam Spillway Road at Philpott Lake and Dam will be closed from 15 August 2022 through the fall of 2024, due to construction work at the Dam, Powerhouse, and hillside.

This closure will impact the Henry County Tailrace Canoe Launch, located at 810 Dam Spillway Road Bassett, VA, 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 Henry, VA.

If you have any questions about the closures, please contact Chris Powell, Operations Project Manager, at 276-629-4512 ext. 8224.
