This photo was taken last weekend thru the chainlink fence. The park, the dam and large recreational property are maintained by the Army Corps of Engineers. It's closed on weekends for the winter, but in all the other season's it's very busy and a great place to spend the day. We've had lots of family picnics here over the years. This pic shows only about 1/3 of the park...there's lots of open space. The second photo was taken in Nov. 2006...an important date, as I will explain. This is the entrance to the overlook of the dam and the river. It also contains a wealth of information about the need for it and the construction. On the other side there is a short trail that takes you half the way down the hill to another observation platform...a better view of the dam.
