On the river
Low-head dams drown people every year: the current below the drop circles back and holds a swimmer or a boat at the face. Portage around them; stay well clear above and below.

Up to 10 river miles each way, from the agencies' inventories; not every hazard is listed and rivers change. Scout before you go.
