Waterfall Wednesday #7

While technically considered a waterfall (water that flows over a ledge and free-falls down to earth), this week we have a man-made waterfall that really isn't supposed to be there. As a part of the Lower Bennett Dam near Stayton, this is a diversion wall that funnels water through a fish l.adder between Wilderness and Riverfront Parks in southeast Stayton. During Summer, little to no water overflows the wall, but in Winter and Spring, The North Santiam River flows over the wall, creating a long curtain-type waterfall less than 10 feet high.
