The equipment required to transmit the power from the powerhouse on the dam to the transmission lines is housed in buildings to the west of the trail. Note the large size of the boards. Passenger service stopped on this line in 1951. The last railroad station is the little frame building standing next to the brick building at the entrance to the dam. Poor river portage, the dam is approximately 50 feet high.
Portage is poor for boaters at both dams.
A cable gate limits access to the trail on both sides of the road. Rapids in New River at this point. This milepost is broken and vandalized. Unapproved spring located nearby. Powerhouse is located on the far side of the spillway.
