∙ 14y agoyou should get off the water as early as possible before you get too close, and carefully inspect the dam, see if there are any potential ways down, either "running" it in your kayak, or portaging (walking) around it. note that many dams are very dangerous and also illegal to run. depending on the size etc

∙ 7y agoThere should be water barriers that prevent any water craft from getting to close to a dam. In either case it's best to stay well clear of any dam edges and/or towers. You can see it getting closer obviously so turn back.
