Description
The Davis water supply Dam creates a significant hazard for paddlers, with a complete river blockage that requires mandatory portage around the structure. Extreme caution is required, as the dam presents a dangerous hydraulic zone with potential for entrapment and no safe running line. Paddlers must exit the river well before the dam and use the designated portage route to safely bypass this critical obstruction.
