Beaver Pond, located in Preston Township, Wayne County, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned recreational dam constructed in 1909. The earth dam stands at a height of 15 feet and spans 110 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 274 acre-feet. With a surface area of 28 acres and a drainage area of 5.4 square miles, Beaver Pond serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and wildlife observation.

Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Beaver Pond is subject to state regulations for inspection, permitting, and enforcement to ensure its safety and integrity. The dam has a high hazard potential due to its location on TR Shadigee Creek and the surrounding area. However, recent inspections have deemed the dam's condition satisfactory, providing reassurance to visitors and stakeholders. Despite its age, Beaver Pond continues to be a valuable resource for the local community and a haven for water and climate enthusiasts.

As a vital component of the local ecosystem, Beaver Pond plays a crucial role in water resource management and climate resilience. Its recreational use not only benefits the community but also fosters appreciation for the natural environment. With proper maintenance and oversight, Beaver Pond can continue to provide a safe and enjoyable experience for all who visit, while also contributing to the broader efforts of sustainable water management and climate adaptation in Pennsylvania.
