Description

The Munroe Canal Diversion on the Poudre River is a diversion dam used to divert water from the river to the Munroe Canal, a component of the Colorado Big Thompson project for agricultural water delivery. This dam is about a mile below the take-out. Legend has it that the dam is boatable at high water, but you'd want to be sure you were doing it on purpose. Otherwise, be sure not to miss the take-out. American Whitewater is working to address public safety at this high hazard low-head dam and provide for boat and fish passage.
