This earth-type dam stands at a height of 14 feet and stretches 225 feet in length, serving primarily for recreational purposes. With a storage capacity of 430 acre-feet and a surface area of 78 acres, the dam impounds the waters of TR-ARDEN BROOK and contributes to the drainage area of 0.54 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, Cranberry Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition as of the last inspection in 2011. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 8 feet and is situated in Orange County, New York. While the dam has not undergone any modifications in recent years, it remains under state jurisdiction for permitting, inspection, and enforcement. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate can appreciate the role of Cranberry Lake Dam in providing recreational opportunities and managing water flow in the region.
