The Scotts Mill Dam, also known as the Lynchburg Dam or Scots Mill Dam, is a dam across the James River at the south end of Daniel Island in the city of Lynchburg, Virginia. The project includes a gravity dam spanning the left side of river and a small arch dam portion towards the right bank. The facility is used for water supply, there is no hydroelectric production.[1] The dam is located adjacent to the Griffin Pipe Products mill at this location. The facility once included a canal or lock structure, ruins are still visible on the right bank, for hydropower or river boat transportation; this feature is no longer in use.
