Built in 1963, this earth dam serves primarily as a Fish and Wildlife Pond, with additional recreational purposes. The dam has a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a structural height of 24 feet, with a storage capacity of 350 acre-feet and a surface area of 220 acres.
Managed by the Washington Dept of Ecology, Duncan Creek Dam is considered low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. Despite its age, the dam remains in operation and is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. With its location along Duncan Creek and its contribution to the local ecosystem, the dam plays a vital role in supporting fish and wildlife populations and providing recreational opportunities for the community.
