John C. Stennis Lock and Dam, Lock and dam system on Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway in Lowndes County, United States.
The John C. Stennis Lock and Dam controls water levels and enables navigation for large vessels along the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway near Columbus, Mississippi.
The structure represents a significant infrastructure development from the late twentieth century, named after United States Senator John C. Stennis from Mississippi.
The lock and dam complex serves as an educational destination where students learn about water management systems and engineering principles through organized field trips.
Columbus Lake, formed by the dam, provides multiple access points for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation activities throughout the year.
The facility maintains specific water levels while allowing commercial vessels to navigate between the Tennessee River system and the Gulf of Mexico.
