New Colgate Powerhouse is not located at the base of the dam, like most hydroelectric plants. Instead, the 14-foot (4.3 m) diameter New Colgate Tunnel carries the water about 5 miles (8 km) southwest of the dam to this location.
Water is freezing, fast and certain spots upstream are favorites for naked swimmers! This was one of my favorite places to go when growing up and dead in the middle of summer. The best blackberries grew here!
