Amory Lock, Lock and dam system on Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in Mississippi, United States

Amory Lock is a lock and dam system on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway that allows vessels to navigate between different water levels at mile 371. The structure raises and lowers ships between two water surfaces to allow continuous passage through the waterway.

The lock was built as part of a larger project to improve navigation on the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. The structure altered the landscape by creating a large reservoir north of the dam.

The lock serves as a meeting point where boat operators from different backgrounds follow shared protocols and communicate via radio. It shapes daily life for everyone traveling this waterway.

Visitors can watch the lock from shore or approach it by boat and wait for clearance to pass through. It is helpful to know the local approach rules and expect waits, as operations follow a set schedule.

The lock uses a less common marine radio channel for communication, which sets it apart from other locks in the region. Boat operators must tune to this specific channel to communicate with staff.
