Mount Morris Dam Tours

The US Army Corps of Engineers built the Mount Morris Dam in the late 1940s to reduce flooding on the lower Genesee River. Today, the dam continues to provide flood protection along 67 miles of the Genesee River Valley, from the village of Mount Morris to downtown Rochester where the river enters Lake Ontario. Top of the Dam Guided Walks are offered daily spring through fall. This is still an active, working dam, so only a limited number of visitors can participate in a walk to learn more about this engineering marvel. The guided walk is ideal for active visitors with an interest in engineering and the Genesee River Valley.
