Approximate - nearest available gauge. Use as general reference only.
The main dam has two releasable lift-gates. Water sheets horizontally across the cement slab of the dam, then pours off that slab into the pool. Air pockets form behind the flow (creating a lighter root-beer-colored effect) before it meets the pool below. This 'curtain' of water pouring into such a chaotic 'hole' in the pool would make for extreme likelihood of flipping. The entire pool is filled with large rocks which will be just below the surface at virtually all flows, meaning all experience-levels of boaters should never consider playing the outflow from this dam. While the wave/hole might (at some flows) look like it could be surfable/playable, any flips would almost certainly result in bodily impact with rock.
