Owned by a private entity, the dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 88 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 50 acre-feet. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, offering a serene surface area of 5 acres for activities such as boating and fishing.
Despite its recreational benefits, Lake Maryann Dam poses a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its condition. The dam, classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, is not regulated by the state and does not have a designated state agency for inspection or enforcement. Located along the TR to North Fork river or stream, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment remain unclear, raising concerns about its safety and management measures in the event of an emergency.
With its picturesque setting and important role in providing recreational opportunities, Lake Maryann Dam stands as both a cherished water resource and a potential area of concern for climate and water resource enthusiasts. As efforts to ensure the dam's safety and emergency preparedness continue, its significance in the local landscape underscores the importance of sustainable management practices and risk assessment for dams in the region.
