Description

This dam has two releasable gates to the right. At most boatable flows, the gates should be open sufficiently to allow boaters to run through them. Scouting before putting on is highly recommended, as the chutes are rather tricky in the immediate outflow area.

Reportedly, some higher flows may allow running ('boofing') the 'fixed' portions of the dam. (Note: last I was there, massive wood debris blocks most of the fixed portion of the dam.)
