Idols Dam News Story in Winston Salem Journal- Hopefully this story will lead to making the area safer for boaters, paddlers, fishermen and others

We hope today's story in the Journal will help eliminate what we consider one of the most dangerous portage areas in the Yadkin River Basin. Thanks to the Journal for bringing this to the attention of their readers. Hopefully with the help of the City of Winston-Salem Utilities, Montie Hamby and Mr. Comer working together, we can make the area a lot safer. Paddlers too most take some responsibility for safety measures as well. To read the story in today's Journal, click on the title below:
