There is a picnic pavilion tucked beneath those trees.

Right up near the dam there is an excellent dock for fishing, and the birds know it as well. Watching for fish and herons were my favorite parts of visiting the dam. Though, if we were studying power sources, I could see where visiting the dam would be a great educational tool as well.
