Spillway spilling

11 Jun 2017 317
Bypass spillway flowing at Davis Creek Dam, in the headwaters of the Middle Fork of the Feather River, California. This hasn't happened in a number of years! The concrete spillway itself ends near the top behind the pine tree, and the water just makes a waterfall from there. The hydropower capacity is also maxed out--that's the tailrace from the turbines in the foreground (outlined).
