Bear River 2026 - '27

The Black Canyon of the Bear River is going to flow unrestricted all summer in 2026 and possibly the summer of 2027. PacifiCorp is beginning a multi-year project to replace tubes that carry the water from the diversion near Grace to the Bear Powerhouse.

The Grace diversion dam will be taken out of service in April or May of 2026. All flows will run through the whitewater section in the Bear River Canyon.
