Beaver Street Weir

Description

A short cement 'wall' (weir) crosses the river as it enters the Beaver Street culvert. There may be some very minor play possible here, but it is likely to be a fail at many flows.

NOTE: some blogs and websites have this and the next one listed as 'low-head dams'. They are really far too small to be categorized as such. The TOTAL height is less than a foot, and the river-depth (even at nearly 500 cfs) is not enough to create any uniform, 'keeper' hydraulic of such size and depth as to trap or keep a boat or boater. By the time there would be enough depth for a true hydraulic, the flow would be enough to obliterate any sign of these weirs!
