    Hiking

    This dam was built in 1883 to supply power to the former Alamo grain mill, which stood on the other side of the river. It became obsolete after the introduction of electricity, and the flow rate of the San Antonio River decreased due to well drilling and drought. The historic dam was only rediscovered in 2007 during repair work on the River Walk.
