Upstream Dam


The abandoned bridge piers in the foreground were for a road bridge.

It is interesting catching different river levels.

I didn't notice the powerhouse until I noticed the headrace and followed it down the bank of the river past the descent of the rapids.

The powerhouse is on the left in this view.

It has a powerhouse at the left descending bank behind a tree.

Evidently, the powerhouse is not abandoned because it appears that they are doing maintenance work on it.

It must be in really bad shape because they are not even allowing pedestrians on it.


Downstream from this bridge are several marinas because we are close to the mouth of the Beaver River at the Ohio River.
