Robinson Dam

Robinson Dam is a lowhead dam on the North Elkhorn, between  Georgetown and Frankfort off of Highway 460 at Robinson Lane. The dam site is public property, and fishing is allowed there. The area is daytime access only. There is a small spot where you can launch a canoe  or kayak just above the dam, giving access to the impoundment above.  This is a carry-in only spot; it is rocky and there is no ramp. Putting  in here allows paddlers to access the pool between Robinson and Great  Crossing. Also accessible is Cane Run Creek, which can be paddled  upstream for about a quarter mile, depending on water levels.

I’ve written numerous times about Robinson, and I’ve done quite a bit  of fishing there. It offers a little of everything–you can fish on  foot, you can launch a small boat, you can wade in the summer, and there is a bit of parking.
