Dorena Dam is a concrete gravity dam located on the Row River in Oregon, USA. Completed in 1949, it was built primarily for flood control, irrigation, and hydroelectric power generation. The dam creates Dorena Lake, which serves as a recreational area for fishing, boating, and camping. The dam is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and has a total capacity of approximately 50,000 acre-feet. It plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region, helping to protect local communities from flooding while supporting agricultural needs and providing renewable energy through its hydroelectric facilities.
