Diving Platform at Dam Park, Pine River

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.
