History
Detroit Lake is situated over a historical road bed of the former Oregon Pacific Railroad. This route was built by Colonel T. Egenton Hogg as a proposed transcontinental railroad. Transcontinental Railroad is a Railroad that crosses a Continent from "coast-to-coast" Because of a lack of funding, the line terminated in Idanha, east of the lake. Idanha is a city on the Marion County / Linn County line in Oregon, United States, on Oregon Route 22 and the Santiam River Idanha had rail service until the 1950s, when the track was removed for installation of the Detroit and Big Cliff reservoirs. [3] Detroit Lake was created in 1953 after the completion of the dam. [1] Part of the Willamette Valley Projects, the lake was intended primarily for flood control and power generation but has become one of the major recreation resources in western Oregon. Recreation or fun is the expenditure of time in a manner designed for therapeutic refreshment of one's Body or Mind.
