It was the 2nd Transition Zone to be released in ''[[The Long Dark]]''.<br />
<br />
== Overview ==<br />
Resident wildlife consists of [[Rabbit]]s and occasionally a [[Wolf]] patrol is often found near the base of the Dam itself. [[Reishi Mushroom|Reishi Mushrooms]] and other plants can be harvested in the area near the banks of the river. [[Ice Fishing]] is possible on the ice below the Dam using Free Form Ice Holes.<br />
<br />
The area has few notable locations, aside from a [[Warm cave|Warm Cave]] that often has a [[Research Book]]. A nearby hill can often contain [[Green Birch Sapling]] and [[Green Maple Sapling]].<br />
<br />
The Carter Hydro Dam can not be re-entered by walking back into the push door if exited from inside the Dam, nor can it be propped open as the door automatically closes and locks behind you. A broken window across from the dam exit can be used to regain entry into the Dam, doing so requires walking across the other side of the Dam by via a ledge.<br />
<br />
== Wildlife Availability ==<br />
Only 2 animals are found in this region.<br />
<br />
* [[Rabbit]] can occasionally be found south of the Dam.<br />
* [[Wolf|Wolves]] often spawn in the area directly below the Dam spillway.<br />
* 2 [[Deer Carcass|Deer Carcasses]] can sometimes spawn.<br />
<br />
== Locations ==<br />
Despite having no marked locations, 2 Region Transition icons can be found:<br />
<br />
* The Cave System Leading to Pleasant Valley<br />
* The broken window leading back into the Hydro Dam<br />
<br />
The exit door to the dam does not count as a Region Transition icon.<br />
