Reid Chatfield Dam 90 cfs

90 CFS

On a blind corner, just above Naturita there used to be a nasty low cable strung with pallets.  This created the worst river obstacle this author had ever seen.  Now removed thanks to understanding landowner.

And midway through this run, one can still see the remnants of the Tri-State power plan dam.  Now almost completely removed, this is not the hazzard it used to be. (Some rebar still remains)

Thes changes give us optimism that this section may someday be recreationally floatable.

Fence across San Miguel - not so bad.
