Link River Dam on Link River at the head of Klamath River and just west of Klamath Falls, Oregon, regulates flow from Upper Klamath Lake Reservoir. The facility was constructed in 1947 and is the principal source of water for the Klamath Project. Link River Dam, at the outlet of Upper Klamath Lake, serves as the headwaters for the Link River which flow into Lake Ewauna then transitions into the Klamath River. The dam is a reinforced concrete slab structure with a height of 22 feet and a crest length of 435 feet.
