Van Arsdale Dam does not store a large volume of water along the upper Eel River, but rather only impedes flow sufficiently to provide head for diversion through a tunnel and into the upper East Fork Russian River drainage in Potter Valley (see Picture #3). Photo supplied by Brock Dolman and the Occidental Arts and Ecology Center.
