Round Lake Dam repairs get early start

Hikers in Camas’ Lacamas Park had to make some detours earlier this week so that Camas city crews could make some repairs to the dam at Round Lake.

This is the first year the city has been in charge of the dam, which was built in 1935 to utilize the water from Lacamas Creek for Camas Paper Mill operations. Original wooden versions of the dam were located in the same spot from 1883 until the concrete dam was built.
