West Two Rivers, located in St. Louis County, Minnesota, is a privately-owned earth dam completed in 1966 for the primary purpose of water supply. With a maximum storage capacity of 16,000 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 8,500 acre-feet, this significant dam stands at a height of 40 feet and spans 720 feet in length. The dam regulates the flow of the West Two River, with a drainage area of 31.3 square miles and a maximum discharge of 1,700 cubic feet per second.
Managed by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources, West Two Rivers is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement, ensuring its structural integrity and functionality.
