Little Wood River Dam


Little Wood River Dam (National ID # ID00041) is a dam in Blaine County, Idaho, about ten miles northwest of Carey.


The earthen dam was originally constructed from 1936 to 1939 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation as a flood control and irrigation storage project, then modified in 1960. The dam impounds the Little Wood River, is 129 feet tall, and is 3100 feet long at its crest.[1] The 1960 modification included the installation of a one-unit hydroelectric power plant that generates three megawatts. The dam is owned by the Bureau and is operated by the local Little Wood River Irrigation District.[2]
</ref> The reservoir it creates, Little Wood River Reservoir, has a maximum capacity of 30,000 acre-feet and about nine miles of shoreline.[3] Recreation includes fishing (for rainbow, cutthroat, and brook trout), hunting, boating, camping and hiking.[4]
