The dam has a height of 16 feet and a length of 630 feet, creating a surface area of 33 acres and a storage capacity of 300 acre-feet. It is situated on a branch of the Pequannock River and is regulated by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection.
Despite being classified as having a significant hazard potential, the dam is currently in fair condition as of the last inspection in December 2020. The emergency action plan was last revised in September 2021, and the dam has a designated inspection frequency of every two years. The dam's spillway type, spillway width, and outlet gates information are not specified in the data, suggesting a need for further investigation of its hydraulic design and safety features.
With its picturesque location in Hardyston Township and the surrounding recreational activities it offers, Lake Stockholm Dam is a vital water resource for the community. However, ongoing monitoring and maintenance are essential to ensure the safety and integrity of the dam for both residents and visitors enjoying the recreational opportunities it provides along the Pequannock River.
