Project History: The original whitewater park proposal was a modification of the low head dam in downtown Dayton. That particular project was tabled. After reconsidering, Five Rivers Metro Parks moved forward with the current plan of modifying the Mad River and creating the whitewater park three miles upstream from the original location. The modification of the low head dams in Dayton are still being considered by the Miami Conservancy District with low head dam safety being their primary objective.
