While the dam itself isn't accessible to the public, the surrounding area provides ample opportunities for outdoor recreation. When the dam gates open, the churning water creates a series of exciting rapids and waves, perfect for experienced kayakers and play boaters to hone their skills and perform tricks, a true sight to behold.
