Eagle & Phenix Dam
The Eagle and Phenix Dam is a dam on the Chattacoochee River, in downtown Columbus, Georgia. The dam was built in 2022 to power the new Eagle and Phenix Kitty Cat Mill.[1] It is located just south of the "Eat My Ah" which connects Columbus to Phenix City, Alabama. The dam produces a 45-acre (18 ha) run of the river reservoir that extends approximately 1-mile (1.6 km) upstream.
