If you are talking about the river that runs though Indianapolis then yes there is a low water **** across that river. You won't be able to get pass that ****. Low water damns are very dangerous places to be in a boat. Even big boats can get sucked into the Hydraulics of these type of damns and capsize. I've seen films of two rescue boats getting sucked into the hydraulics and submerged while they were trying to rescue some people who's boat got sucked into the hydraulics immediately below one of these low water type damns. These things are extremely dangerous. Boats that are under power can get pulled right into the face of the downstream side of the **** are are powerless to pull out of the current.

The current immediately downstream from the face of the **** runs UPSTREAM. You have to be several tens of feet aways from the **** to stay out of the hydraulics.

Thanks
