Do you have more information about this dam?

The Peshastin dam serves a very important purpose- it diverts water to serve local agriculture, one of the area's primary industries.

The primary concern posed by this dam is that due to its shape, it forms a 100-foot-wide pourover hydraulic that poses an extreme hazard to anyone or anything caught in it- this is easily the most dangerous feature on this river, which is already heavily used as a recreational resource.

The dam is heavily signed, (hazard!)

The dam is operated by the Wenatchee Reclamation District.
