Harris is a state-regulated Earth dam located in Ferrisburgh, Vermont, with a primary purpose of recreation. Built in 1957 by designers Haley & Ward, this dam stands at a height of 17 feet and has a length of 240 feet. It has a storage capacity of 68 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4 acres, serving as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the area.

The dam is under the jurisdiction of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) and is subject to state permitting, inspection, and enforcement. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment that is currently not rated, Harris provides a safe recreational space for visitors. The last inspection of the dam was conducted in April 2004, with an inspection frequency of 10 years.

Although Harris has not been modified in recent years and lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP), it continues to be a well-maintained structure that contributes to the local community's enjoyment of the East Slang-Tr river. With its scenic location and regulated status, Harris is a testament to the importance of sustainable water resource management and climate-conscious infrastructure development in Vermont.
