Hapgood Pond Dike in Peru, Vermont, is a Federal-owned structure completed in 1939 for recreational purposes. This Earth-type dam has a height of 24 feet and a length of 223 feet, creating a storage capacity of 86 acre-feet. Situated on the Flood Brook-Tr river or stream, the dam serves as a low hazard potential for the surrounding area.

Despite its age, Hapgood Pond Dike has not been rated for its condition assessment, with the last inspection conducted in November 1994. The dam is not regulated by the state and does not have a state permit or inspection requirement. While the structure remains in good standing, there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared, and the risk assessment and management measures are also unspecified.

Water resource and climate enthusiasts may find Hapgood Pond Dike an interesting case study for its historical significance and the need for updated assessments and emergency preparedness. The dam's role in providing recreational opportunities while managing flood risks highlights the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of downstream communities and the surrounding environment.
