Yeah you will pass it on the way. It's the first bridge downstream of the dam. There's a parking area right there, it's a little park. There's a trail that goes from there all the way up, and there's a trail on the opposite side too. It's a little tricky in spots(downed trees and such) and about a mile hike, but it's not bad if you're fishing your way up. Definitely bring water, you'll be thirst by the time you get up to the dam. Other than the dam you'll mostly just run into smallies, with the occasional cat, carp, panfish, and maybe a surprise trout. Fishing below the dam though everythings game.
