Below Lake Billy Chinook and the Round Butte Dam lies the glassy calm waters of Lake Billy Simtustus, a watershed on the Deschutes River created by the Pelton Dam. Like Billy Chinook, Billy Simtustus was an Indian chief who lived in the area in the early pioneer days of Central Oregon. While Round Butte Dam provides hydroelectric power to the region, Pelton Dam is used mostly for flood control and irrigation. |
