Lajoie Dam

Lajoie Dam is the uppermost of the storage dams of BC Hydro's Bridge River Power Project, which is located in the southwestern Interior of British Columbia.

It is located just west of the small semi-ghost town of Gold Bridge.

An earthfill structure, it is 87 m (287 ft) and impounds c. 570,000 acre-feet (700,000,000 m3) of water in Downton Lake Reservoir.

A few miles downstream is Carpenter Lake, which is formed by Terzaghi Dam, the largest of the Bridge River Power Project's structures.
