Link River
The Link River is a 7-mile-long river in Oregon, which connects Upper Klamath Lake and Lake Ewauna. The river has a rich history, as it played a significant role in the Klamath Native American culture. The river is also responsible for generating hydroelectric power, and it supports agriculture and wildlife in the region. Specific reservoirs and dams along the river include the J.C. Boyle Dam, which operates a 22-megawatt hydroelectric facility, and the Link River Dam, which is used to control water levels in Upper Klamath Lake. Recreational activities in the area include fishing, boating, and water skiing. The river's hydrology and water quality have been a topic of concern in recent years, as it is affected by agricultural runoff and excess nutrients.
