This private-owned earth dam stands at a height of 33 feet and has a storage capacity of 159 acre-feet. Situated on the Trib-Fourchearenault Creek, the dam covers a surface area of 9 acres and drains a 76 square-mile watershed.
Although the dam is not regulated by the state, it has a high hazard potential and has not been rated for its current condition. The last inspection was conducted in June 1980, with no recent updates on its condition assessment or emergency action plan. Despite its age, Pine Tree Lake East Dam continues to provide recreational opportunities for visitors in the area, showcasing the importance of maintaining and monitoring our water resources in the face of changing climates.
