Original HEC Plans
The Tasmanian Hydro Electric Commission actually planned to build more than one dam to flood the Franklin:
- Gordon below Franklin Dam - 105m high, at 42°35′2″S 145°43′55″E / 42.58389°S 145.73194°E / -42.58389; 145.73194 - accessed via the Gordon River from Strahan. This was the lowest point on the river possible for a dam, since the tidal zone extends to Big Eddy, just 1 km downstream.
- Dam #2 - 200m high, at 42°22′34″S 145°45′25″E / 42.37611°S 145.75694°E / -42.37611; 145.75694, accessed by the Mount McCall Track (Franklin River Road).
