Don't know all the particulars; apparently, a new inexperienced boat
owner and passengers. How tragic. So, if somebody asks you if a
boating course is necessary........

I looked up info on the dam, found some images of the dam,
looks like no beacons or markers on it or much warning of the edge.
I see by the report they knew of the dam,
but others may not, is that common ?

There is a low bulkhead dam (forgot what they call them) in Enfield CT
that has claimed many lives in my memory. Don't know about recently
but I can remember several incidents over the years.

Oh yeah - that's a real problem for guys not familiar with it.

Do you live in CT? I'm up in the NE corner.

Yep, just northeast of Hartford. Out 84 a little for now. Have a small
place down near the shore, but we are up here taking care of my dad
for a few, hopefully many years! There's no frekin' water up here
though! Used to having it 5 minutes down the road.

Oh wow - I'm not far at all.

is?

I think they call it a lowhead dam. But the thing sucks bodies up and
it is one hell of a job to get them out. I have not boated up that far
on the river so I don't know how it is marked. I guess most know it's
there, but either get lost, or impared.

Uh, this is not a small dam so it's kinda hard to miss. The Susquehanna
River is a large and sometimes fast moving body of water. There are three
major hydroelectric plants/dams on the lower part of the river and caution
needs to be used when boating/fishing/recreating near them. I haven't
boated on this part of the river yet, but plan to do so this season after I
do some additional research on the area; and in particular, boating
hazards.
