Directly in front of this point (looking at the river) are the remnants of sluice gates and gears. At the time the mill and electric plant were functioning here, they could be opened and closed to allow water to flower down the sluice run to turn turbines at the downstream mill.
Across the river, are the remnants of the wooden dam that originally spanned the Greenville Creek. Built in 1897, the dam was the original source of hydro-electric power in this area. At one time the wooden dam was built higher in order to increase the amount of water sent down the sluice to the turbines. This generated more electricity which was sold to other electric companies.
As you continue on the trail, you will see the old ice house foundation on the right where they stored ice for the summer. Watch for the foundation of the Albery summer home along the trail.
