Great idea. The general public really doesn't understand the power in those innocent looking boils downstream of a low head.
I know a mtbr who is interested in starting kayaking. For some reason he's become fixated on running a low head dam. When he told me this, I just looked at him in shock. My reply was to show him the hair standing up on my arms and tell him that I've been paddling over 20 years, and what he just said sounded a lot like a suicide plan. Just don't fool with them.
On a good side note, that old low head on Middle Fork Little Beaver Creek in Lisbon at the park is now gone.
