Bakers Falls, also known as Blair Veneer and Troy Hydroelectric, is a private dam located in Troy, Vermont. Completed in 1920, this concrete, gravity dam stands at 20 feet tall with a length of 232 feet, harnessing the power of the Missisquoi River for hydroelectric purposes. With a storage capacity of 285 acre-feet and a surface area of 36 acres, Bakers Falls plays a significant role in the local energy production.

This low-hazard dam has not been rated for its condition, but it remains under the jurisdiction of the state with no state regulation, permitting, inspection, or enforcement in place. The dam has not been modified in recent years and does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared. Despite its low-risk potential, Bakers Falls serves as a valuable asset in the region's water resource management, contributing to the sustainable development of energy resources in Vermont.

As a part of the New England District, Bakers Falls stands as a testament to the historical development of hydroelectric infrastructure in the area. With its unique design and location on the Missisquoi River, this dam continues to be a point of interest for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking to understand the intersection of human infrastructure and natural ecosystems in the region.
