Splash is a state-regulated dam located in Colley Township, Pennsylvania, along the Mehoopany Creek. Built in 1958, this concrete dam stands at a height of 10 feet and has a length of 206 feet, providing recreational opportunities in the area. With a storage capacity of 765 acre-feet and a normal storage of 163 acre-feet, Splash covers a surface area of 86 acres and serves a drainage area of 8.4 square miles.

Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Splash has a low hazard potential and has undergone structural modifications in 2008. Despite not being rated for condition assessment, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations. With no emergency action plan in place, the dam's emergency preparedness and risk management measures are yet to be fully developed.

While Splash presents a captivating recreational opportunity for water resource and climate enthusiasts, its regulatory oversight and hazard potential highlight the importance of continued monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and the environment. As a vital infrastructure in the region, Splash serves as a reminder of the importance of sustainable water resource management and the need for proactive risk assessment and emergency preparedness in the face of changing climate conditions.
