A typical day at Lock and Dam 5, near Minnesota City, Minn., turned into a quick reaction rescue for two of the district’s lock operators recently.
Nathan Van Loon, Lock and Dam 5 head operator, said it was a fairly windy day with 3 to 5 foot waves on the north side of the dam. He said he noticed a canoeist and his dog come down the river and try to hold on to the wall, but the canoe began taking on water and capsized.
