9Spillway in a Dam’s Reservoir, Northern California: Impressive Glory Hole

This impressive construction in North Carolina was made 50 years ago. It is known as the largest man-made hole in the world. It is located at the Vaca Mountains in Napa, County, California.

The reservoir looks terrifying, given the heavy flow of water and known deep hole, but undoubtedly beautiful. The dam is also known as Monticello Dam while the spillway is called “Glory Hole”. The spillway cannot be underestimated as it can drain up to 48,400 cubic feet per second, thus, swimming anywhere near it is prohibitive because of the obvious risks.
