Weeks Falls is a waterfall on the south fork of the
accessible overlook to see the falls and a small area around the hydro-electric plant. There is also a ¼ mile accessible interpretive trail nearby.[2]
Weeks Falls has a small hydroelectric plant operated by CHI West which generates about 4.3 Megawatts peak.[citation needed] It is unusual because it operates without a dam. Instead, water is being drawn from the river above the falls and run down an underground channel to the generation unit at the bottom of Weeks Falls.
