PORT ANGELES — Olympic National Park is warning rafters and swimmers about metal debris on the Elwha River where the Elwha Dam used to be.
KOMO-TV reports the park’s website says that portion of the river poses “high risk of serious injury or death.”
The dams were removed in 2012 but not all of the debris was visible. Four years of erosion is revealing what was missed.
The debris forced Olympic Raft and Kayak to shut down. After seeing the debris in the rapids, they decided it was too dangerous.
