New Overlook Embraces Menomonie’s History

Menomonie is celebrating the opening of a new overlook near downtown. 

A ribbon cutting was held Thursday at the Hydro Dam and Tainter Gate Historic Overlook Plaza.  Xcel Energy began the project in 2023 to stabilize the dam and protect the embankment from erosion.  The new overlook offers views of the dam, the lake and the river.
