    Point Mountain river channel restoration project update

    And I was always mad at anglers for building that stone dam. I never knew it was a remnant dam! But I know exactly where you are talking about. Part of a sycamore fell across the channel just below it recently. That dam backs the river up about 200 yards just enough to let a ton of sediment...

    Point Mountain river channel restoration project update

    Jeff - where exactly was that dam? Call me or reply here as I'm curious.

    Point Mountain river channel restoration project update
