Hiking
The Whitehorse Rapids Dam was built between 1957 and 1958 to supply electricity to a growing population in the Yukon via the Whitehorse hydroelectric power station. In summer, the four turbines can generate up to 40 MW of electricity. In winter, with lower flow in the Yukon River, only about 25 MW can be produced.
