The dam's hydro power plant consists of three units that receive water from three different penstocks, located 865 feet (264 m) upstream. [8] In the early 21st century, with an installed capacity of 208 MW, [ 9 ] the dam provided enough power for about 147,000 homes and more than $9 million in annual revenue for the tribes.

The dam and its reservoir, Bighorn Lake, are owned by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation.
Built in 1910, the dam furnishes water to an eight-unit hydroelectric plant with a capacity of 36 megawatts. [3] [4] As the dam's power plant is located over a half-mile downstream, the flow of water over Rainbow Falls and downstream Crooked Falls is significantly reduced during the dry season. The water from the penstocks re-enters the river a ...
