Lock and dam 19 from the old swing bridge; Keokuk, IA
This year marks the 100th anniversary of the completion of the dam and hydroelectric plant at Keokuk, and you all should plan on going there this weekend. (I’ll have a separate post on the dam in a couple of days.) The plant will be open for public tours as part of River Power Days, but if you just want a good place to take it all in from a higher perspective, walk out on the old swing bridge; a section of the former highway deck is now a fine observation platform and the views are pretty darn good.
