ダムへは”30キロの全長に11本のトンネルが続く「奥遠和シルバーライン」を通りぬけると、左岸ダムサイトに辿り着くことができるらしい。その他、別ルートとして県道もあるらしいが、11月の終わりから5月の中旬まで積雪により通行止めとなるらしい。この他、堤体下流側の左岸に北日本電力(株)事業本部が経営する「丸山スキー場」があるが、2月のハイシーズンには多すぎる雪のため休業し、3月に再開する珍しいスキー場でもある。(※)

Both "Oku-Towa Silver Line" and "Maruyama Ski Resort" are modeled after Okutadami Dam, and are called "Okutadami Silver Line" and "Okutadami Maruyama Ski Resort," respectively. The long tunnel and winter closure are also very similar.
