Promised Land, located in Pike, Pennsylvania, is a state-owned recreational dam built in 1919 with a primary purpose of providing recreation opportunities. The dam, made of earth and buttress core types, stands at 16 feet high and stretches 125 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 5048 acre-feet. Situated on the EAST BR WALLENPAUPACK CREEK, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection and is regularly inspected, ensuring its safety and compliance with state regulations.

Despite its fair condition assessment and high hazard potential, Promised Land remains a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts. With a surface area of 438 acres and a drainage area of 6.6 square miles, the dam offers a picturesque setting for outdoor activities. Its last inspection in June 2020 highlighted its ongoing safety measures, and the dam has been modified structurally in 2004 and updated in other ways in 2018. Promised Land stands as a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management and the preservation of natural habitats in the face of changing climates.
