Description

Low head dam that stands just a few feet high underneath the Route 28 bridge. Either flood control or possibly covering a water or sewer line that runs along the road. Best taken head on just right of center where a tongue forms. Expect some scraping at lower levels and a smoother ride at higher levels.
