Shelton Reservoir #2 Dam, also known as Pine Lake, is a masonry dam located in Shelton, Connecticut.
Built in 1900, this dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and is owned by the local government. With a height of 16.3 feet and a storage capacity of 109 acre-feet, the dam overlooks the scenic Curtiss Brook and covers a surface area of 6 acres.
Despite its historical significance, Shelton Reservoir #2 Dam is classified as having a high hazard potential. However, a recent inspection in September 2019 deemed its condition as satisfactory. The dam has a drainage area of 1.31 square miles and a maximum discharge capacity of 535 cubic feet per second. Additionally, the dam has a spillway width of 38 feet, ensuring the safe release of excess water during flood events.
Located in Fairfield County, Connecticut, the dam is under state regulation and inspection by the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP). With its picturesque setting and importance for both recreation and water resource management, Shelton Reservoir #2 Dam remains a notable feature in the region for water resource and climate enthusiasts alike.
