Lucky Peak Dam, Hydroelectric power station and embankment dam in Ada County, Idaho.
Lucky Peak Dam extends 518 meters across the Boise River, generating electricity through three turbines with a total capacity of 101 megawatts.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers initiated the construction of Lucky Peak Dam in November 1949, completing the project in 1955 at a cost of 19 million dollars.
The dam forms Lucky Peak Lake, which has developed into a regional center for water activities, fishing tournaments, and environmental education programs.
The facility maintains water levels for irrigation, produces renewable energy for the region, and provides essential flood control protection for downstream communities.
The power station generates 321,790,000 kilowatt-hours annually while managing a reservoir capacity of 307,000 acre-feet across 2,820 acres of surface water.
