The dam, constructed in 1800, serves primarily for recreational purposes, offering a serene setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing and boating. With a storage capacity of 500 acre-feet and a surface area of 166 acres, Horne Pond provides a picturesque oasis surrounded by the natural beauty of the Little Ossipee River.
Despite its age, Horne Pond has a low hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam's spillway width of 4 feet ensures controlled water discharge in case of emergencies, while its last inspection in June 2018 indicates a regular maintenance schedule. While the pond does not have an emergency action plan (EAP) in place, its risk management measures and inundation maps are yet to be prepared. With its historical significance and recreational value, Horne Pond serves as a valuable resource for both water enthusiasts and climate advocates looking to explore and appreciate Maine's natural landscapes.
