The Link River Dam is a concrete dam on the Link River in the city of Klamath Falls Oregon. It was built in 1921 by the California Oregon Power Co. The dam was built to control the water level of Klamath Lake in order to maximize power production. Water stored behind the dam also supplies most of the water used for irrigation in the Klamath Reclamation Project.The Link River Dam diverts water to two hydroelectric power plants located downstream.
