Yep, Percy Priest has the former town of Old Jefferson under it as well as numerous homes scattered throughout the lake area. I doubt much of anything was bulldozed prior to flooding the area. Why go to the expense of knocking buildings down just to have them decay underwater anyway?

The old abandoned rock quarries would be fun to scuba in, too. I'm pretty sure that's definitely not allowed although it didn't stop us from finding them and swimming in them when we were kids. Lots of abandoned equipment in those old holes.
