Description
Little Goose Dam is a mandatory portage due to the hydroelectric dam structure, requiring paddlers to completely exit the river and carry their watercraft around the obstacle. The portage involves navigating steep concrete banks and potentially challenging terrain, with no direct river passage through the dam site. Careful planning, scouting, and proper safety equipment are essential when negotiating this section of the Snake River.
