Description: The Upper "Junction Falls" Dam on the Kinnickinnic River in River Falls, Wisconsin as it appears today. The Historic Junction Falls are obscured by its presence, sitting below the flat waters of the impoundment above the dam. The lowest ledge of the Junction Falls now sits as the dry ledge below the base of the dam, with the water being diverted through the dam and coming out of the power house on the left rather than cascading over the falls. The boulder that historically sat on top of the ledge has been dislodged by flood waters and now sits below the ledge on the right side of the picture.
