Fish Fries have been a spring and summer tradition in Pine River and surrounding towns for generations, and Dam Park was a favorite spot even before it was an official park. Photograph from Logsleds to Snowmobiles, used with permission of the Pine River Chamber of Commerce.

Diving Platform at Dam Park, Pine River

Even before Dam Park was competed in the late 1930s, the placid water above the dam on Norway Brook made it a popular spot for swimmers. This makeshift diving platform was eventually replaced by a 17-foot metal platform by the WPA, but taken down more recently due to high insurance costs.
