Reviews
"Fun to see. This dam is extremely important to Boise. Without it, irrigation would be impossible and Boise would still be a desert like the surrounding area."
"The water source for Lake Lowell. Pretty interesting plaques. Would really like to cross the dam and tour the place."
"Wonderful sounds sights. The power of water. Rocks, concrete and steel"
"Great hiking starting from the Oregon reserves trail head and hike up the canyons ridge to see the dam."
"Built in 1909, it provides water to the concrete New York Canal, which in turn provides most of Ada and Canyon county's irrigation needs. A small powerhouse was built in 1912 to provide power for the construction of the Arrowrock Dam located upstream. The powerhouse has been left mostly unmodified."
