Little Goose Dam, Hydroelectric dam on Snake River in Whitman County and Columbia County, United States.
Little Goose Dam extends 809 meters across the Snake River, incorporating a navigation lock system and multiple power generation units.
The United States Army Corps of Engineers initiated the construction of Little Goose Dam in 1963, completing the main structure with three generators by 1970.
The dam's location holds significance for Pacific Northwest tribes who maintained traditional fishing practices along the Snake River for generations.
The facility generates 810 megawatts of electrical power, contributing renewable energy to surrounding communities through an integrated power distribution network.
Lake Bryan, formed behind the dam, stretches to the base of Lower Granite Dam, featuring a single-lift navigation lock measuring 86 feet wide.
