Lois Lake dam draining

[marshalljimduncan]

The dam broke!!

I guess they made it drain in a circular pattern to keep the water speed somewhat under control and keep it from eroding the surrounding rocks and land as much as if it flowed straight?

Is this just off the highway?

[langterra]

yes I was on lois river (eagle river bridge )

Sorry to be a pain, but isn't this the spot that people sometimes go swimming? And...which side of the bridge is it on heading South out of town? I've been in PR for a little over 3 yrs and want to see some of the "scenic" spots - by car, but don't know where/how to find them. Any suggestions?

If I remember correctly you have 30 min to GTFO of the river from the first siren signal until they open the spillways on the dam. What a great place to swim in the summer!
