This is a dry dam - which means there is no permanent pool; however, water is
present when impounded during flood control operations. The Walhonding River
is popular for canoeing and fishing. Picnicking and camping facilities are
available along the river. Roscoe Village, a restored and historical canal
town, is located near Coshocton.
