The dam, constructed in 1880, is a stone gravity structure with a height of 23 feet and a hydraulic height of 19 feet. The pond has a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a surface area of 7 acres, making it an ideal spot for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.
Despite its historical significance and recreational value, Rogers Neck Pond is currently assessed to be in poor condition with a low hazard potential. The last inspection in 2013 revealed the need for improvements to ensure its long-term safety and functionality. The dam's spillway width is 10 feet, and the pond is regulated by the Maine Emergency Management Agency (MEMA), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to oversee its operations.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts, there is an opportunity to advocate for the preservation and restoration of Rogers Neck Pond to enhance its ecological and recreational benefits. By working collaboratively with local authorities and stakeholders, we can ensure the sustainable management of this natural gem for future generations to enjoy. Let's support efforts to improve the dam's condition and mitigate any potential risks, while promoting responsible stewardship of this valuable water resource in Maine's beautiful landscape.
