Trego Hydro Generating Station
Trego Hydro Generating Station
This double-generator plant produces 7,473 megawatt-hours per year
Overview
Location: Trego, Wis.
Generating Capacity: 1.2 megawatts
Type of Operation: Run-of-the-river
Plant History
The Trego dam was built in 1927 and refurbished in 1980 with repairs to the powerhouse, spillway and piers. It is located on the Namekagon River about eight miles north of Spooner in western Washburn County.
Interesting Features
The dam creates Trego Lake, a six-mile-long, 470-acre impoundment only half-mile across at its widest point. The steep banks of the lake are rimmed by stands of jack pine and aspen, with many private cabins among trees.
Environmental Highlights
Fishing is popular with the residents and vacationers who visit the resorts along the lake. However, recreational use of Trego Lake is light since many people are drawn to the larger lakes nearby. As a result, Trego Lake tends to be a peaceful, secluded near-wilderness area.
