4-19-09 I went down the whitewater part of Elkhorn creek to find 3 helmets and 2 PFD's being re-surfed in the dam , went further down the river to find 3 abandoned kayaks along the shore line. Stooped in at canoe KY to report this and they were aware of a situation at the dam the previous day in which a 16 year old girl was sucked back up to the dam in her kayak and flipped and was re-surfed herself for several minutes until she flushed out and was washed up on the rock at the start of the rapid and eventualy had to be rescued by the profesionals and taken to the hospital for hyopothermmia. The moral of the story is please be carefull at the dam it is a dangerous situation at any level. fortunatly this girl came out alright.
