With a primary purpose of recreation, this masonry dam stands at a height of 12 feet and spans 30 feet in length. Situated on Salmon Brook, it serves as a picturesque spot for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy water-based activities in the surrounding area.
Despite its recreational appeal, the dam's significant hazard potential necessitates regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. The most recent inspection in July 2020 deemed its condition satisfactory, with a moderate risk assessment rating. While the dam is uncontrolled by a spillway, its 0.3-acre surface area and 1.59 square mile drainage area contribute to its importance in managing water resources in the region.
With the dam being state-regulated and permitted, and the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environmental Protection (DEEP) overseeing its enforcement and inspection, Manitook Lake Dam remains a vital component in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in the Hartford County area. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate sustainability can appreciate the careful balance between recreational use and environmental safety that this dam represents.
