Recreation Safety
Before you take that refreshing dip or boat ride
in one of our lakes, refresh your memory with some
important safety reminders:
- Keep clear of power lines that cross the lake
at several points. Contact with or arcing from
these lines can be very dangerous. Lake levels
fluctuate due to power generation and weather
conditions, and - particularly with sailboats -
it's difficult to determine the exact clearance
of these power lines.
- Stay 300 feet away from the upstream and
downstream sides of the dam and powerhouse.
- When fueling up, turn off electrical equipment
and DO NOT SMOKE!
- Do not enter the tailrace section directly below
hydroelectric stations. These areas are prone to
a sudden rise and violent turbulence in the water.
A flashing red beacon and/or sounding of a horn
will alert you of this condition.
