Glen Park Hydrodam features a boat ramp providing access to the Black River's lower gorge section, a popular whitewater paddling and rafting destination with Class 3-5 rapids.

The facility operates under a water-sharing agreement that ensures reliable summer flows for recreation—paddlers can call ahead to request water releases that transform Glen Park Falls into a Class 5 rapid within minutes.

Access is available during daylight hours with a portage around the dam required for the whitewater section downstream.
