Oregon City Williamette Falls Dam (#0155)

Oregon City Williamette Falls Dam (#0155)
Williamette Falls Dam – I had just discovered this location last August and was quite impressed both by the view and the history it represented of the greater Portland area. Put very briefly, the hydro power coming from the falls was key in the Portland area early lumber processing industry and then, with the construction of the dam, hydroelectric power for manufacturing and municipal development. For more detail, see my earlier picture on Ipernity: www.ipernity.com/doc/donbrr/43325264 or Flickr: www.flickr.com/photos/donbrr/29919398963

The pictures in this later set are taken from along the McLoughlin Promenade, reached by the Oregon City Municipal Elevator.

Have to get over and see the falls from that side. I just have pix from off 205.

Since others had mentioned the spot on I-205, I went up there but couldn't see anything due to the thick undergrowth. Best is to take the elevator and walk along the ledge.

There's one or two places where you can see over the shrubbery!

Thanks. I don't even recall if I could even see that, but I might have. What I was hoping was to see the industrial side from another angle, clearly I wasn't going to get that!
