River Mill, located in Carver, Oregon along the Clackamas River, is a privately owned hydroelectric dam that was completed in 1911. With a dam height of 85 feet and a hydraulic height of 70 feet, this Buttress type dam serves multiple purposes including hydroelectric power generation and recreation. The dam has a storage capacity of 2300 acre-feet and a spillway width of 405 feet, making it an important water resource structure in the region.

Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, River Mill has a high hazard potential due to its condition assessment being unavailable. Despite this, the risk assessment for the dam is moderate, indicating a need for continued monitoring and maintenance. The dam has two flap outlet gates and a surface area of 150 acres, serving as a vital component of the local water management system. With its historical significance and modern-day functionality, River Mill stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate adaptation efforts in Oregon.
