KAWARTHA LAKES-Parks Canada says structural repairs will begin shortly at the Elliot Falls Dam, located in Kawartha Lakes near Norland on the Gull River.
An inspection of the dam found deterioration of the concrete structure. Officials say while the dam poses no immediate danger, the project will involve a pier patching program to ensure the dam’s continued operability and repairs to the channels that hold the stop logs in place. No changes to current water management practices are required to complete this work.

Public Access:Â Public access across the Elliot Falls Dam is closed in the interest of public safety. Residents are reminded to adhere to posted signage and avoid restricted areas for their protection.
“Parks Canada would like to thank area residents and visitors for their patience and understanding.”
