| Facebook Reel The water is maybe 6 feet below the bridge currently. Crazy amounts of much needed water coming down today 🙏🏽 All praise to the most high! Robin MacDonald: Where exactly is this on the Salt River? Rico Loroña: Above Roosevelt lake Dennis DeBruler: It appears to be this bridge: https://maps.app.goo.gl/v8239ceZBTfPuYT58 |
This is a Salt River take-out ramp. One would not want to be parked there on Nov 1, 2026.

Diversion Dam
The water is diverted into a tunnel. I wonder where that tunnel delivers the water.

| Sally Rector commented on the above Facebook Reel I was right there about 6 weeks ago…Here is the spillway just downstream… |
I assume there is just one diversion dam on the Salt River.

| Facebook Reel 🌊 The Salt River at Diversion Dam is an incredible sight right now! Currently flowing at a reported 95,000 cubic feet per second (CFS), the Salt River is moving an unbelievable amount of water. That’s over 665,000 gallons rushing downstream every second! Large debris can be seen floating downriver, showing just how powerful the current really is. The familiar steps at Diversion Dam are nearly unrecognizable, with only a small tide-like ripple visible where rushing rapids now cover them. I’ve seen the Salt River flow plenty of times, but this is by far the highest I’ve ever witnessed it. It’s an amazing display of Mother Nature’s power, but also a reminder of just how dangerous these waters can be. Respect the river and keep your distance! 🌊 |
