Looking north across the top of the Crocker-Huffman diversion dam. A cat walk extends all the way across the dam. You can take out on river right (the far side in this photo) and walk 1/4 mile to a fishing access parking lot. One can also portage on the river right side also. The long ramp visible on the other side of the dam is an old fish ladder. The walls are 12 inches wide and can be walked down. Otherwise lower boats down the dam face, or carry over the berm and bushwack to the river.
