Little Sweden Dam, located in Stevens County, Washington, was completed in 1986 for the primary purpose of recreation. This earth dam, with a hydraulic height of 7 feet and a structural height of 5 feet, stands on the Tr-Colville River and provides a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. With a normal storage level of 90 acre-feet and a surface area of 17 acres, the dam serves as a recreational site for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various outdoor activities.
Managed by a private owner, Little Sweden Dam is regulated by the Washington Department of Ecology and is subject to state inspection and enforcement. Despite being categorized as having a low hazard potential and not yet assessed for condition, the dam plays a crucial role in providing leisure opportunities for the surrounding community. Its location in a picturesque setting, along with its capacity for storing water and supporting wildlife, makes it a valuable resource for both locals and visitors to appreciate and protect.
As part of the Seattle District and Congressional District 05, Washington, Little Sweden Dam contributes to the overall water infrastructure in the region. Although details on emergency preparedness and risk assessment are not currently available, the dam continues to serve as a vital recreational asset while also highlighting the importance of sustainable water resource management in the face of changing climate conditions.
