From the other side of the observation platform in the park, you see the White River as it meanders thru the valley just upstream from the dam. This was taken in July, 2003. Above the river is where the Rim Trail parallels the valley for 2 miles. The second photo was also taken in Nov. 2006. The "lake" extended 7 miles upstream..Not only did the river fill up the valley, but the amount of debris was incredible. That's where the work boats come into play. They gather up the massive amount of timber ripped from the banks of the river far upstream...I'm not sure where it goes.
