Comments: This dam is the site of the first low head dam modifications in the state. Work to convert the dam into a rock rapids was completed in 2007. The effort greatly reduced the deadly hydraulic that normally forms at low head dams. At higher water levels the rapids become a feature suitable for enjoyment by whitewater kayakers.
