Rogue River Runs Free at Savage Rapids Oct 08, 2009
Storied Salmon Stream Undergoes Historic Restoration
Tomorrow, the Rogue River will move freely for the first time in nearly a century on a stretch of river near Grants Pass, Oregon, when work crews pull down a temporary coffer dam in place around the demolished north side of Savage Rapids Dam. Once the river flushes any remaining sediment from the channel, fish and boats will be able to move unimpeded through the site. The historic event marked another achievement in the ongoing restoration of the Rogue River, the location of the most substantial dam removal efforts yet undertaken in the western U.S. Workmen are slated to finish the last portions of the Savage Rapids Dam removal by December.
