Anderson Ranch Reservoir Dam
Anderson Ranch Reservoir Dam
The next Discovery Point on the Idaho BDR is right on the route. Ride over the Anderson Ranch Reservoir Dam when the route reaches Anderson Ranch Reservoir. Constructed around the mid-century as an earth rockfill dam, the dam was once the tallest dam of its kind in the world. These days it’s used for irrigation, power and flood control. While the water is usually quite low by the end of the summer, it’s still a good spot to stop and take in some views of the valley. Be sure to keep an eye out for a reservoir overlook on the road running south of the dam.
