The Eagle Dam is the lower regulating reservoir for pumped storage power generation at the Kuzuryu Dam. Therefore, the Eagle Dam is located downstream of the Kuzuryu Dam. It is a rare dam that combines an arch type and a gravity type, and is well worth a visit. It is located along Route 158, making it easy to find.
