West Canada Creek - Prospect Gorge

Prospect Gorge

The entire Prospect Gorge is inaccessible now. It is privately owned by Brookfield Asset Management, who administer power generation, and they are concerned because they let out water from the dams at odd intervals. Swiftly rising water with no escape is extremely dangerous. At least until the late 1970s restrictions were not as strictly enforced as they are today. Also the water releases in the past were more predictable. The property was previously owned by the Niagara Mohawk Power Co.

Famous quotes containing the word prospect:

    I do not mean to exclude altogether the idea of patriotism. I know it exists, and I know it has done much in the present contest. But I will venture to assert, that a great and lasting war can never be supported on this principle alone. It must be aided by a prospect of interest, or some reward.
    George Washington (1732–1799)
