  25 '''Yale Dam''' is a 323-foot high earth-type [[Hydroelectricity|hydroelectric]] [[dam]] on the [[Lewis River (Washington)|Lewis River]], in the [[U.S. state]] of [[Washington (U.S. state)|Washington]],<ref name="lr_2010_yaledam"/> owned by [[PacifiCorp]]<ref name="npdp_20220510_yaledam"/>. It is located on the border between [[Cowlitz County, Washington|Cowlitz County]] and [[Clark County, Washington|Clark County]]. Its reservoir is called [[Yale Lake]]. The dam's power plant generates 134 megawatts.
