John C. Boyle Dam, Embankment gravity dam in Klamath County, US.
The John C. Boyle Dam stretches 714 feet across the Klamath River, incorporating concrete structures and an earthen section for water control and power generation.
Built between 1956 and 1958, this dam was named after a pioneer hydroelectric engineer who designed most of the Klamath Hydroelectric Project infrastructure.
The dam removal in 2024 represented a shift in regional priorities, acknowledging the importance of river restoration and environmental conservation in Oregon.
The structure features three spillway gates, fish screens, and a fish ladder, while the monitoring station provides real-time data on water quality and discharge rates.
The dam's drainage area covers 4080 square miles, making it a central point for water management in the Klamath River system.
