Free Flowing Rivers

Marmot Dam

The Sandy River is a free flowing river! Marmot dam was decommissioned in July 2007 and the Little Sandy River dam was decommissioned in 2008; this is a great triumph for conservationist, fisherman, and boaters, (http://www.marmotdam.com/ .)

Gold Hill Dam

The Gold Hill Dam on the Rogue was removed last July freeing 153 miles of river for Salmon, Steelhead and boaters, (http://www.waterwatch.org/ .) This is just the begining to a trend of dams that will be decommisioned in the near future.
