Description

This dam diverts water to Muck Valley forebay and then on to Muck Valley powerhouse at mile 14.  The diverted water rejoins the river at that point.  

The portage is likely on river left, as the diversion is on river right. 

There is a gauging station below the dam, but only historical data is available for it.
