Saddle Dam<br />
Day use—picnicking, swimming, water sports<br />
Friday before Memorial Day through Labor Day, 5 a.m.-10 p.m.<br />
Saddle Dam is at the lower end of the Yale Reservoir. It is the site of the old<br />
Frasier Farm. A very large earthen dam dominates the view here; this is one<br />
of the few places where visitors can clearly see both above and below a dam.<br />
Below the dam, fields, wetlands, and tree shelter-belts provide wildlife viewing<br />
opportunities.<br />
Trees and vegetation have been<br />
cultivated to encourage and protect<br />
elk that visit this site to forage. This is<br />
a popular site for both boat-based and<br />
shore-based recreation, with access to a<br />
launch ramp and to trails.<br />
<strong>The</strong> very visible dam suggests<br />
interpretation about dam construction.<br />
<strong>The</strong> view from the top of the dam<br />
presents an excellent opportunity to<br />
tell the story of Saddle Dam Farm. Bull<br />
trout conservation information should<br />
be posted here.<br />
interpretive elements: Orientation (FERC)<br />
