Hurricane Helene tests Bluestone Dam

A slide show that shows the importance of our beloved Bluestone Dam. On September 28, 2024, Hurricane Helene from the Gulf of Mexico, reared its ugly head and poured 30+ inches of rain onto the Boone, North Carolina area. That's the head of New River. Major subsequent river flooding occurred along the path of the New River throughout North Carolina, Virginia, and into Bluestone Lake. Near record water levels were recorded at the Dam, but it held steadfast and saved the town of Hinton and many other river towns from devastation all the way to the Kanawah River in Charleston.
