Quick Video Update on Dillsboro Dam Removal (NC)

After nearly a decade of negotiations and involvement by American Whitewater, Dillsboro Dam on the Tuckasegee River (NC) is finally being removed! February 4, 2010 saw the first steps of a multi-week process to remove the 100+ year old dam from blocking this great river from flowing freely.

AW staff was on hand to film and take photos of this historic, and substantially delayed, event. Check out this quick clip from the day. Full video and photo recap to come soon.
