Description

Immediately after the prior dam, you cross under the park road and encounter the second backwater in the park, and approach to the second dam. This is very much like the first regarding form, function, and strategy. Which is to say a grunge at low flow, and a massive recirculation a higher flows, and within sight of another crossing by the park road, so the same concerns apply as mentioned above.
