The Campbell River generating system of BC Hydro is comprised of three power generating stations. Upper Campbell Lake discharges through the 65 MW Strathcona Generating Station (G.S.) into Lower Campbell Lake. Lower Campbell Lake is the headpond for the 47 MW Ladore G.S. Ladore discharges into John Hart Lake, which is the reservoir for the 126 MW John Hart G.S., Upper Campbell Lake is the storage reservoir for all four installations.
Strathcona Dam was constructed between 1955 and 1958 by the BC Power Commission, a predecessor of BC Hydro.
