Yamhill River lock and dam
Yamhill River lock and dam, Historic lock and dam structure in Dayton, United States.
The Yamhill River lock features a single-lift chamber measuring 210 feet in length and 40 feet in width, with concrete walls extending along the riverbank.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers completed the lock and dam construction in 1900 to enhance river transportation between Dayton and McMinnville.
The structure represents early river navigation infrastructure in Oregon, reflecting the transportation needs of agricultural communities in the Willamette Valley.
The site includes public access paths, viewing areas, and designated parking spaces for visitors interested in exploring the historical engineering structure.
The lock system remains one of three 19th-century federal navigation projects constructed along the Pacific Coast of the United States.
