DANGER! The Mad 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.
