Built in 1966 by GEORGE J. BEEMSTERBOER, INC., this earth-type dam stands at a height of 36 feet and stretches 800 feet in length. The reservoir has a normal storage capacity of 1700 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 180 acres, drawing water from an unnamed tributary of Stony Run.
Despite its recreational appeal, the dam at Lake of The Four Seasons (Lower) C poses a high hazard potential with a poor condition assessment. The last inspection conducted in April 2014 revealed the need for improvements and raised concerns about its safety. Located in a region with a moderate risk assessment, the dam requires attention to ensure the protection of the surrounding community and the preservation of its ecological integrity. Enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience would find this site a compelling case study for the intersection of recreation, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship.
