Lake Chrisann, located in Bridgewater Township, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned reservoir regulated by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection. Built in 1961, this earth dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and has a storage capacity of 627 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 373 acre-feet. The dam stands at a height of 22.6 feet and spans 866 feet in length, creating a surface area of 34 acres for outdoor activities.
Despite its fair condition assessment, Lake Chrisann poses a high hazard potential due to its proximity to TR Hop Bottom Creek. The dam is subject to regular inspections, with the last one conducted in November 2020. While there are no associated structures or federal agency involvement, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment measures remain unreported. Water enthusiasts and climate advocates interested in the management and conservation of water resources would find Lake Chrisann an intriguing case study in private dam ownership and regulatory oversight within Pennsylvania's Susquehanna County.
