Low Head Dam

Low Head Dam

Description

This is a clasic 'killer low head dam'. The drop is fairly small, but the boil-line is strong (inescapable) at most flows.

At some flows, there may be a 'break' in the middle which may be runnable, but there would be very little chance of anyone being able to effect a rescue if you fail to hit the right spot and/or fail to punch through the hydraulic, so think twice (or three times, four times) before thinking about running it.

Again, depending upon flows, there is likely a route down the far-right side that is runnable ... just make sure you are clear of the grasp of the boil line!
