| Additional Information: | 2015 - The Brunsweiler Creek Dam is located west of the Lodge’s main concentration of buildings and is accessed by an unimproved trail that roughly follows the Beaverdam Lake shoreline. The buttress dam features two concrete buttresses and flanking concrete abutments. The three-bay spillway is controlled by vertical rising sluice gates that can be manually operated by a winch and chain assembly. The crest of the dam is bridged by a narrow concrete walkway with pipe railings. |
