m

Cabinet Gorge Dam is a concrete gravity-arch hydroelectric dam in the northwest United States, on the Clark Fork River in northern Idaho. The dam is located just west of the Montana border, near the approximate location of the ancient ice dams that impounded Glacial Lake Missoula. The Cabinet Gorge Reservoir extends into Montana, nearly to Noxon Rapids Dam. The purpose of the dam is for hydroelectricity.
