Here’s a picture of the dam on Swamp Creek in Bechtelsville. I’ve tried to find out some information about it with little success. From what I understand, there used to be a mill where the fire company is now located. I’m thinking they must have put the dam there to make a mill pond. If anyone has ever driven by this area, you have undoubtedly noticed that Swamp Creek didn’t agree with this idea and filled in behind the dam. It’s now overgrown with brush and trees and Swamp Creek is running through it.
When I walked down the side of the spillway to take this picture, a nice brown saw me and quickly swam downstream to get away. I didn’t even have my fishing rod with me.
