Experience the awesome power of water on our dam release walk! Join the park educator for this unique opportunity to view the outflow of our biannual dam release. We will take a short, 1-mile walk over even terrain to the dam, then spend some time for photos and discussion, before walking back to the parking area. Viewing events will be held both days of the annual Spring White Water Release at Nockamixon. Please register for only one event.

This walk traverses even terrain, with paved and unpaved sections.  Children must be at least 10 years old to participate, and no children under the age of 18 may attend without parent.

 

*NOTE: The dam area is closed to the public. Program participants will be accompanied by a Ranger providing special permission to view the release for this program.

 

The meeting location is at the parking lot on Tower Road.
