Saddle Lake, located in Pennsylvania's Wyoming County, was completed in 1965 for the primary purpose of recreation. This privately-owned earth dam spans 850 feet in length and stands at a height of 24 feet, with a storage capacity of 357 acre-feet. The lake covers a surface area of 29 acres and is fed by Osterhout Creek.

Managed by the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, Saddle Lake is subject to state regulation, inspection, and enforcement. Despite its satisfactory condition assessment, the dam has a high hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular monitoring and maintenance. With its picturesque location in Tunkhannock Township, this recreational reservoir serves as a valuable resource for water enthusiasts and climate advocates alike.

In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status is currently unlisted, underscoring the need for preparedness and risk management measures. Although the dam does not fall under the jurisdiction of the US Army Corps of Engineers, its role in providing recreational opportunities while ensuring public safety underscores the vital relationship between water resources and climate resilience in the region.
