Lee Smith Dam, located in Camptown, Pennsylvania, is a privately owned structure designed by USDA NRCS and completed in 1964. This Earth dam, with a height of 18 feet and a length of 550 feet, serves as a Fish and Wildlife Pond with a storage capacity of 67 acre-feet. Situated on Wyalusing Creek, the dam's primary purpose is to support fish and wildlife habitats and provide recreational opportunities for visitors.
The dam has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. It features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 30 feet and outlets that are also uncontrolled. The dam has not been inspected recently, and its condition assessment is currently unavailable. Despite these limitations, Lee Smith Dam continues to play a crucial role in water resource management in the Susquehanna County area, supporting the surrounding ecosystem and providing a source of enjoyment for local residents and visitors.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Lee Smith Dam exemplifies the importance of private partnerships in maintaining and enhancing water resources. With its strategic location and focus on conservation and recreation, the dam stands as a testament to the vital role that private entities can play in preserving our natural environment and supporting sustainable water management practices.
