The Dalles Dam, Hydroelectric power station and gravity dam on Columbia River, Oregon and Washington.
The Dalles Dam extends 2662 meters across the Columbia River, incorporating 22 turbines that generate power for the Pacific Northwest region.
Construction of The Dalles Dam began in 1952, with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers completing this major infrastructure project by 1957.
The creation of Lake Celilo following the dam construction submerged Celilo Falls, which served as a central fishing location for Native American tribes.
The facility produces 2,038 megawatts of electricity through its power station, providing renewable energy to thousands of homes in Oregon and Washington.
The dam's North Fishway includes specialized water screening systems to protect juvenile salmon while maintaining power generation capabilities.
