The Dam Project
The Clam Falls Dam plays a vital role in maintaining the flowage’s water levels and overall health. In recent years, the dam underwent a significant replacement project to address safety concerns and ensure its long-term functionality. The project, awarded to Lunda Construction Company, involved a substantial investment and demonstrates Polk County’s commitment to preserving this valuable resource. This undertaking underscores the importance of ongoing maintenance and responsible management to safeguard the flowage for future generations.
A tranquil escape for nature lovers, anglers, and anyone seeking outdoor recreation.
