Description

The remnants of Kirtland Dam create a potentially dangerous river obstruction that can trap boats and paddlers, with submerged concrete and potential hydraulic recirculation. Paddlers should scout carefully and portage around the dam structure, as the hydraulics and debris can pose significant risk even at varying water levels.
