Trip Report

ReporterDaniel Campbell

The New River Ranch Dam was removed in 2005.
The following article talks about the removal and has pictures: http://www.bayjournal.com/article.cfm?article=2652. The Dam got it's name from the 'New River Ranch' country music park on the east side of the river just north of the dam. It was open through the 1950's and early 60's. If you are curious some good info on the park is at this link:
