Description
North of Redding California, the second largest dam in the US. It is primarily for agriculture and flood control of the Sacramento River. Its construction began in the early '40's. The secondary benefit is hydroelectric power. Notice 5 15 foot dia.penstocks.
That's a snowcapped Mt. Shasta in the background just to the left.
