Grand Coulee Dam was completed in 1942 and today serves as a multipurpose facility providing water for irrigation, recreation, fish and wildlife, hydroelectric power production, and flood control. Its visitor center, completely renovated in 2006, serves more than 300,000 visitors each year.

Hungry Horse Dam, located on the South Fork of the Flathead River about 9 miles southwest of Columbia Falls, Mont., was completed in 1953. It serves a major source of hydroelectric power for the Pacific Northwest and a popular tourist destination offering a visitor center and recreation.
