Lucky Peak Rooster Tail

Lucky Peak dam is a dam on the Boise River located eight miles southeast of Boise, Idaho.  It was constructed in the 1950s with the purpose of flood control with irrigation as its secondary purpose. The dam also generates hydroelectric power.
Because the area has so much water this year, for two days water was let out in what is called the rooster tail. This does not produce electricity but was marvelous to witness.
