News 14 did a feature story on their 5:00 news about Idols Dam. Terry did a great job in front of the cameras and expressed the concerns our group had when we paddle the area back in July.

Now for those who would rather read a written account of the story above, click here. Our thanks to Ed Scannell of News 14, for their coverage on the safety issues of Idols Dam. HRL Paddlers is not trying to create problems for anyone. We feel these safety issues can be resolved working with the City and the property owner of the portage area. We hope the media attention that Idols dam is receiving will serve as a warning to others of the present dangers of this low head dam. We do not recommend anyone using the portage area, until the safety issues of the portage have been resolved.
