Photographs of Lakeshore Some car parts and chimneys we saw along Lakeshore trail, between campsite 86 at Proctor and campsite 90 (Eagle Creek). Eagle Creek has very low flow at this time due to the extremely dry conditions we have experienced in east Tennessee. We pass Calderwood Dam, on the Little Tennessee River, as we drive along US 129. Both Calderwood and Chilhowee reservoirs were full, the direct opposite of the upstream Fontana reservoir.
