Clayton Falls Creek

Clayton Falls Creek is a creek in the Central Coast of British Columbia. It flows through a forested river valley into the North Bentinck Arm about 5 kilometres (3.1 mi) east of the community of Bella Coola. The Clayton Falls Dam, a small concrete gravity dam, is located on the river. Although managed by BC Hydro, it is the only dam in British Columbia not integrated into the agency's integrated hydroelectric system. Clearcut logging devastated the watershed in 1991; the forestland in the basin is now divided into two protected areas — the Clayton Falls Conservancy and the Bella Coola Community Forest.
