ALTON DAM
Alton, Illinois
This large dam is controlled and maintained by
the U. S. Corps of Engineers. It is located near
the access free Lewis and Clark Bridge on High-
Iway 67. Lock and Dam #26 at Alton is the last
of a series of navigation and flood control dams
on
the Mississippi River. From Riverside Park
in Alton, visitors can watch towboats and barges
"locking through" the locks next to the dam.
Most of the small craft awaiting their turn to go
through the dam usually tie up near the eastern
end of Alton
Lake.
