A close up view of a gate inside a gate opening. The GATE is the gray metal visible inside the concrete walls. The gates are moved up and down to adjust the levels of the lake and river.
This view of the Intake Structure also shows the Spillway on the far side. If the flood water ever gets as high as the top of the Spillway it will flow over it and not over the dam itself.
The three gate opening are obvious along the bottom of the structure.
This is an older picture of Mohicanville Dam with no flood water behind it.
To commemorate the construction of the dam this plaque is displayed on a concrete monument by the road to the Intake Structure.
Looking from the Intake Structure toward the office this view shows the downstream slope of the dam. The toe drain is at the base as well as some of the instruments used to monitor conditions.
This view shows the river and downstream area of the dam. This is a popular fishing spot.
This view is of the fishing access road beside the office.
High water exiting the Intake structure into the Stilling Basin.
A view of the Intake Structure from down stream.
This view is of the big pines surrounding the office.
The terrace on the far side of the river is the Spillway as viewed from downstream. Any water in excess of the amount the dam is designed to hold will flow over this terrace and down the river. The concrete trerrace prevents errosion.
In this large concrete building the gates are housed that allow the water to be controled.
Looking toward the office from the Intake Structure there was no flood water stored behind the dam the day this was taken. Notice the rip-rap,large rock, along the base which are used to prevent errosion.
