Seattle City Light - Boundary Dam 509 446-3083 Visit Our Web Site |
Boundary Dam and Powerhouse have multiple attractions to entice visitors to northeastern Washington State. Seasonally, the project offers tours of hydro operations, a Visitors Gallery with interesting exhibits and views of the generator floor, free camp sites, and a boat launch. The 17- mile reservoir is ripe for exploring with boat-in- campsites available and views of Pee Wee Falls via motor boat, canoe or kayak. The Project was built in 1967. The dam is constructed similar to an egg shell design curving inside as the top extends nearly 50 feet further downstream than the base. The powerhouse is buried in a limestone cavern with 17 floors housing offices, machinery and the power tunnel. For more information visit www.seattle.gov/light/tours/boundary. |
