This Earth dam, completed in 1935, stands at a height of 10 feet and has a length of 110 feet, creating a storage capacity of 106 acre-feet. The reservoir covers a surface area of 15 acres and is fed by the West Branch Tinicum Creek, with a drainage area of 0.6 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Lake Warren underwent modifications in 2009 to improve its hydraulic capabilities. The reservoir is under the jurisdiction of the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, ensuring state permitting, inspection, and enforcement procedures are in place. The dam is regularly inspected every 5 years, with the last assessment conducted in June 2015.
With its picturesque location in Nockamixon Township and its role in providing recreational opportunities for visitors, Lake Warren serves as both a vital water resource and a scenic destination for outdoor enthusiasts. Its historical significance, coupled with its regulated status and ongoing maintenance efforts, make it a noteworthy site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate.
