Sonoma County Regional Parks looking into changing up the summer dam system at Vets Memorial Beach
The Sonoma County Regional Parks department is in the early stages of exploring an idea to turn the seasonal summer dam at Healdsburg Veteran’s Memorial Beach into a series of about 18 inches of drops, which would create four mini pools for lazy river-style tubing, family-friendly swimming and fishing. The early concept is a result of the need to either rebuild the aging dam infrastructure, or create an alternative option in lieu of the dam. The concept includes low flow channels for fish passage, portage access, fishing access, trails and three separate beaches.
