A flowing river after having its dam removed. Virtually all of Michigan's large rivers had dams constructed on them. Most of these dams were built between 1900 and 1955, with construction activity reaching its peak in 1914. Many of these dams have deteriorated because of age, erosion, poor maintenance, flood damage and poor designs, and many of them no longer serve any useful purpose.
