The dam was built in 1914 for hydroelectric power. The dam was shut down in 1966 after becoming too expensive to operate. The dam was donated to a local park system. Starting in 2012, the dam got maintenace work to be a barrier to Invasive (Asian) Carp. [mnhs]

When new scour damage was confirmed by an underwater sonar scan in 2009, a decision was made to look at all issues of concern related to the dam: scour damage, longevity and operability of the rubber gates, and the need to prevent the passage of invasive fish species." |
