Hydropower Projects
The stretch of water immediately below the dam has been designated a National Wild and Scenic River and is considered one of top fly-fishing destinations in the United States. The project includes a park for disabled anglers seeking access to the river below the dam. The Low-Impact Hydropower Institute certified the project the project in 2001, the first certification ever awarded to a hydroelectric project in the Intermountain West. |
