Beaver Pond, located in Rutland, Vermont, is a recreational earth dam completed in 1920 with a height of 10 feet and a storage capacity of 75 acre-feet. The dam sits on Otter Creek-TR and covers a surface area of 10 acres, serving as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the Proctor area. Despite its low hazard potential, Beaver Pond has been rated as in poor condition, with its last inspection conducted in May 2005.

Managed by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), Beaver Pond is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspections, and enforcement. While the dam's primary purpose is for recreation, its current state of disrepair raises concerns about its long-term safety and sustainability. With a drainage area of 0.46 square miles and a risk assessment pending, there is a need for proactive risk management measures to ensure the community's safety and the preservation of this vital water resource.

As a key feature of the local landscape, Beaver Pond serves as a valuable recreational and environmental asset to the community. With its structural integrity in question and its condition assessed as poor, stakeholders must work together to address maintenance and repair needs to safeguard this water resource for future generations. The collaboration between local government, state agencies, and the public will be crucial in ensuring the continued functionality and safety of Beaver Pond for all who enjoy its beauty and amenities.
