Powerhouse Access

The Prospect Powerhouse take-out is accessed from Mill Creek Drive mile 4.1. This is the turn for the road that leads down to the PacifiCorp powerhouse at river level. In the past paddlers were allowed to drive down the road, but the road is now closed to the public. While the road is closed to vehicles now, the public is free to hike up the access road with their boats as needed. PacifiCorp staff have requested that boaters leave their vehicles right in front of the main Operator's office. Please be friendly with all staff at the powerhouse and don't block access to the gate. On release weekends PacifiCorp contracts for a shuttle service that picks up boaters at the powerhouse and brings them back up to the put-in at Mill Creek Falls.
