Description

The large concrete building on the left is the former Copco 2 Powerhouse. Here water diverted from Copco 2 Dam upstream was directed down penstocks (now removed) and through turbines to generate hydropower. This is the only significant piece of infrastructure that is left from the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. It will be owned by the Shasta Indian Nation when the surrounding 2,800 acres--including K’íka·c’é·ki Canyon and its bookended river access faciltiies--are returned to the tribe.
