Buck Creek Whitewater Project

The first phase of the Buck Creek White Water Project was completed in the fall of 2009. This phase removed the low-head dam located directly behind the Springfield Museum of Art. Work began in December 2009 to remove the low-head dam located on the east side of Snyder Park. Work should be completed by the first quarter of 2010.
