Removals by watershed
Gros Ventre River
Located on the border of Grand Teton National Park and the National Elk Refuge, the failing Newbold Diversion Dam on the Gros Ventre River was no longer used for irrigation and had become a safety risk. The dam's removal opened up more than 100 miles (160 km) of stream to fish spawning on a tributary of the Snake River.[1]
