Lake Groton, also known as Groton Pond, is a picturesque body of water located in Caledonia, Vermont. Managed by the state, this reservoir was constructed in 1968 by DUBOIS & KING and serves primarily for recreational purposes. The dam, made of concrete and standing at a height of 13 feet, creates a serene environment for visitors to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming.
With a surface area of 414 acres and a storage capacity of 5,148 acre-feet, Lake Groton offers ample space for outdoor enthusiasts to explore. The dam, with a length of 598 feet, is designed to withstand various hydraulic pressures and is inspected regularly by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation to ensure its structural integrity. Despite being classified as having a low hazard potential, the dam's condition is deemed fair as of the last assessment in May 2017.
Surrounded by the natural beauty of the Vermont landscape, Lake Groton provides a tranquil escape for those seeking a peaceful retreat in the outdoors. Whether it's a leisurely day of paddling on the water or a quiet picnic by the shore, this reservoir offers a unique opportunity to connect with nature and appreciate the importance of water resources in the face of a changing climate.
