Description

This long dam diverts water into the Augusta Canal.   There are a few spots along the dam where some boaters carry over the dam or paddle over without portage.   Most boaters will take out on river right about 30 yards upstream of the headgates.   They then carry across the headgate to the canal trail and downstream to stairs leading to the river.
