it is true that the dam is closed to public access. they closed it sept 17th last year for obvious reasons. i was told that it will never be reopened due in part to the terrorist threat and also because of the littering and trespassing problems they have had before. it is open downstream from the dam but most is on private property.

this is just one more good example of why we should always be respectfull of the landowners and pack out all our trash, and others trash too if we find it and LEAVE NO TRACE!! this is very important if we are to continue to have access to this area since almost all of it is on private land and the owners are nice enough to grant us access.
