Sure Chris, I'll put you on my list to send a reprint to. Ken, after getting more info on those NH sites, they don't count. I should have been more clear... - I'm only looking for sites where there is instream modification of the river channel such as drop structures placed for recreation purposes... not just boat ramps, put /in takeout improvements. thx all. � Back to toy rofla I I mountainbuns ❑ Posted: Mon May 17, 2004 8:58 am Post subject: " uote Total posts: 44 mescalimick wrote: When I left Michigan they had 4 or 5 weirs on the Chippewa River in Mt.

From the AW page it cooks like the weirs were primarily placed to protect aquatic biota from ive sedimentation after removal of a small dam, but that boater input for weir placement and design was considered to make the weirs good for kayaking. That's really interesting - I'll include it in my list as a special case - not principally built as a whitewater park, but still relevant. Nice.

Doesn't that include whitewater features - anyone? http:// mountainbuzz .com/viewtopic.php ?t =1359 9/16/2004
