After decades of controversy, San Marcos inches towards a decision on Cape’s Dam
SUMMARY: The debate over Cape’s Dam in San Marcos pits preservationists against safety advocates. Some argue the dam, built in 1867 from local cypress wood and limestone, is historically significant and worthy of restoration. Preservation Texas seeks to add it to the National Register of Historic Places. However, others, like the San Marcos River Foundation, push for removal due to safety concerns, especially after a drowning incident, and environmental impact. The dam diverts water for kayaking, which some, including a local instructor, believe is valuable for recreation. A study is underway to evaluate the dam’s future.
