History

Electra Lake Dam, also known as Terminal Dam or Cascade #2, is a rockfill structure with a height of Шаблон:Cvt and a length of Шаблон:Cvt at its crest, completed in 1902.[2] The lake was named after Electra, a character in mythology.[3] It has a normal surface area of Шаблон:Cvt.

No hydroelectric energy is produced at the dam; water is channeled Шаблон:Cvt offsite to the Tacoma Hydro Generating Station via a Шаблон:Cvt open wooden flume, "one of only two wooden flumes still operating on hydro projects in the United States."[4] The Tacoma powerhouse stands in the Animas River Canyon and is accessible only by the Durango and Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad.

Owned and operated by Xcel Energy, the dam was rebuilt in 1980.[5]

The lake is open to the public for fee use during the summer months.[6]
