Aside from its nature park, this facility also holds one of the power plants that supplies electricity of the province. Sad to say we just have the glimpse of it, we wasn't able to see and get inside the power plant that time. But being there and standing in front of Agus VI Hydroelectric Plant is one of a kind experience.

Being situated along one of the banks of Agus River, it has an ideal viewing distance from Maria Cristina Falls, which most of the tourist alike got a good view of the falls from either the second and third deck of the plant. Along the sides of the falls and its surroundings are trees and other wild plants which seems unaffected by the activities of the National Power Corporation, through the years it looks like untouched forest even with such activities of the plant.
