Explore the inside of the Rocky Reach Dam powerhouse and learn how your power is made. Walk across the generation floor, down inside a turbine pit, across the transformer deck, and across the spillway. This is a great opportunity to see and feel the energy of hydropower and learn about careers in the hydro industry.
