The Pokegama Dam

2016 Out West, Minnesota, Road Trip


Once we decided to make a stop in Grand Rapids, we needed to find a campground. The Allstays app revealed a COE campground nearby and with a couple of phone calls we managed to reserve the last available site for just one night. With a classic car show coming up the campground is sold out for the weekend. We would have loved to stay longer, the place is delightful.

The Army Corps of Engineers first constructed this Mississippi Headwaters dam in 1884. We enjoyed walking across the dam and watching the water rushing through the open gates.

And there was a gorgeous sunset that invited us to take one more walk this evening!
