Button Rock Dam overlooks the Ralph Price (Button Rock) Reservoir and the Button Rock Preserve. This walk-in only preserve is a unique experience for visitors, with plenty of walking trails that offer a close up look at water management facilities and plenty of wildlife viewing opportunities. While you can fish in the reservoir, there is no swimming or dogs allowed to help protect the reservoir.
