Description
This powerhouse is underground so you will only see the outlet on the left and a road coming down to the top of this outlet. You can duck under the fence at the left side of the outlet and walk up the road to the parking area. The walking distance is about 3000 feet. Alternatively you can hike up a fisherman's trail about 30 or 40 yards to the left (upstream) of the outlet. The hiking distance is only about 700 feet, but its steep. During most seasons when Patterson Bend is runnable, Millerton Reservoir will be high and you will be paddling on this lake by the time you reach here.
