Reviews
"We enjoyed exploring the old dam."
"Very cool dam to look around and climb, there is a good bit of graffiti, good stop if you're heading to Freda. Down by the lake, there also lies the ruins to a stamp mill, it's essentially Freda Ruins but more untouched, an interesting spot to peek around."
"Very cool historic site! Too bad the local hoodlums had to spray paint their filth all over it. Parking area is cramped and rutted, and it's an uneven hike back to the dam. Not recommended for the physically unfit."
"If you climb the fraying rope, you can lift yourself up to the edge, and get a glimpse of the OLD dam."
"If you've seen one dam place, you've seen them all...... wait a minute, this thing is made out of steel?! To decommission it, they just cut big squares out of plates?! They built a train trestle along the top of it?! Very unique dam. Make sure to take the covered road at least one direction, it's beautiful."
