Situated in Cherrytown, Ulster County, New York, the Vrasidas Dam stands as a testament to engineering excellence, with a primary purpose of serving as a recreational spot for enthusiasts.
Completed in 1947, this concrete structure spans 200 feet in length and reaches 12 feet in height, holding a storage capacity of 4 acre-feet. Despite its age, the dam remains a significant structure in the region, with a spillway width of 20 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type.
The Vrasidas Dam, overlooking the picturesque Mombaccus Creek, is state-regulated and subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. However, recent assessments have indicated a poor condition, coupled with a significant hazard potential, prompting the need for risk management measures. While the dam's risk assessment falls under a moderate category, efforts are underway to enhance its safety protocols and emergency preparedness to mitigate any potential threats to the surrounding environment and communities. As a key component of the local water resource infrastructure, the Vrasidas Dam plays a crucial role in balancing water management needs with recreational opportunities in the region.
