Description
The Substation dam on the Ramapo River requires a mandatory portage on the right side, with no runnable line through the dam structure. Paddlers must carefully exit their boats and carry around the entire dam, paying close attention to potentially slippery rocks and uneven terrain. This portage presents a critical safety break in the river journey and demands careful attention to boat and personal equipment management.
