The Upper Swepsonville Dam was recently removed from the Haw River in Alamance County, according to Peter Raabe, the North Carolina conservation director for American Rivers.

The old timber dam stretched across the river just downstream of the access at the Swepsonville River Park. The American Rivers project, which cost approximately $100,000, was completed in early October, he said.

The work was done by Wildlands Engineering Inc.While the dam was not very high and mostly submerged, it was a barrier to fish trying to swim upstream, he said.

Every volunteer club runs by the efforts of its volunteers, and the CCC is no different. Some of our members spend an insane amount of time on the water, and are always looking for other people to accompany them. If you're looking for someone to paddle with, the following members are almost always on the water when these rivers are up. Their contact information should be available under the Member Directory.
