DANGER! The Great Miami River has been dammed in many locations.
These dams should be treated as sites of great danger. Portaging around every
dam is recommended even for the most experienced canoeist. Leave the river well
above dams. Even those dams which have been broached are dangerous due to
remaining debris. DO NOT approach dams from the downstream side -- the
hydraulic effect below dams may draw a boat upstream into the waterfall where it
will be capsized.
