Built in 1946, this buttress-type dam stands at 7 feet high and spans 270 feet in length, with a primary purpose of providing recreational opportunities. The dam holds a storage capacity of 57 acre-feet and is situated on the TR-NEVERSINK RIVER, offering a surface area of 20 acres for visitors to enjoy.
Despite its low hazard potential, Roedy Pond Dam has a moderate risk assessment due to its age and lack of recent condition assessment. The dam's uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet allows for a maximum discharge of 480 cubic feet per second. While last inspected in 1988, the dam remains in a "Not Rated" condition, suggesting a need for updated evaluations to ensure its safety and functionality. With its picturesque location and historical significance, Roedy Pond Dam serves as a vital water resource for the local community, highlighting the importance of ongoing maintenance and oversight to protect both the dam and the surrounding environment for future generations.
