re: Hypothetical question on ‘blowing’ a swim hole in a creek

You could use sand bags and just dam it up, that’s what we did.

I’ve been thinking of dropping some bags of concrete across one of the narrow shallow sections of my creek to make a weir to increase flow in a spot. Toyed with the idea of doing a small scale hydroelectric system there. But an added benefit would be a swimming hole. I know for a fact there are some monster snapping turtles in the deeper bends that would give me pause for swimming though
