Does anyone have information regarding Dam#2, about 4 miles downriver in Mount Prospect? Is it similarly playable? Is there reasonable access?

Chicago Area Paddling/Fishing Guide (http://pages.ripco.net/~jwn/dam.html#desplaines\_river) suggests they are 'identical', though that could be more from a casual view of construction and form, and may not apply to potential for play.
