Thedailymiaminews– It is necessary to have a strong desire to visit Horseshoe Dam in order to get on the road and travel there.
On the route to it, there is not much happening. At some point, the road will come into contact with the Verde River, which is the source of the water that pours into Horseshoe Lake above the dam.
At the same time as off-road vehicles are rushing by, a few marksmen are firing their targets against a desolate hill. At the moment when you have discovered it, it does not appear to be that you have found it at all.
An area designated for parking can be found at the bottom of a slight slope. When you park there and walk a little bit higher, you will be able to view it.
It is unremarkable for the majority of the year (year). A massive slab of concrete that is surrounded by a canyon below it. Through the base of it, there is a concrete boardwalk that runs across the entire area.
However, on a few occasions throughout the year, depending on the amount of precipitation and the melting of snow, it transforms into a moving waterfall.
The water at Horseshoe Lake is under the jurisdiction of SRP. In the event that they need to release water from it, it flows over the dam and the concrete walkway.
An illuminated water and mist tunnel that can be traversed from one end to the other is the end result of this construction.
The fact that the path to get there is, without a doubt, horrific is the reason why it is kept hidden. A number of huge pebbles and even large potholes can be seen along this curving and rutted road. Because it does not persist for a very long time, it remains hidden.
Despite the fact that Horseshoe Dam is currently flowing, the SRP’s planned release is only scheduled to last until the end of January, and it is possible that it will halt any day that is close to the end of the month.
Here, you will be able to determine the volume of water that is pouring over the dam.
