Description

The Gateway Diversion Dam is located upstream of Gateway Park and means that it's not possible to link Filter Plant with the sections upstream. The dam serves to divert water for municipal use for the City of Fort Collins. American Whitewater is working to address public safety at this high hazard low-head dam and provide for boat and fish passage.
