Crescent Lake, also known as Bush Pond, is a private water resource located in Windsor, Vermont. Managed by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, this lake serves primarily for recreation purposes. The gravity dam, completed in 1920, stands at a height of 16 feet and has a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet.
Despite its scenic beauty and recreational value, Crescent Lake poses a significant hazard potential with a poor condition assessment. Its last inspection in 2014 revealed the need for improvement, and the dam is scheduled for regular inspections every 3 years. With a drainage area of 1.44 square miles, the lake covers an area of 20 acres and is fed by Quation Brook-TR.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in Crescent Lake can appreciate the historical significance of this man-made reservoir and the ongoing efforts to regulate and maintain its safety. As a vital part of the local ecosystem and community, Crescent Lake serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible water management in the face of changing environmental conditions.
