Description

*NOT ON THE LISTED REACH*

On the Michigamme River, upstream of the confluence and a flowage, lies Peavy Falls Dam. Under ordinary circumstances, all flow is likely diverted through a penstock between the dam and powerplant, leaving a dry riverbed. In the event of unusually high flows, it is possible that there may be flow in this short stretch of riverbed.

We currently have no knowledge or information as to whether there might be any reasonable play here, or at what flows that might be expected to happen. So . . . has anyone ever taken a look at this? Anyone ever seen anything worth suiting up and trying to play? Report!
