Pine is a captivating hydroelectric dam located in Florence, Wisconsin, along Pine Creek. Built in 1922 by Mead & Seastone, this concrete dam stands at a height of 41 feet and serves multiple purposes, including hydroelectric power generation and recreation. With a storage capacity of 1483 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 15400 cubic feet per second, Pine plays a crucial role in managing water resources in the region.
Managed by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, Pine Dam is considered to have a low hazard potential but a very high risk rating. Despite not having a recent condition assessment available, the dam is inspected every three years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The spillway is controlled with a width of 98 feet, and the dam features seven Tainter (radial) outlet gates. Pine Dam's location in the Detroit District and its proximity to Niagara make it a significant landmark for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and learn about the intersection of hydroelectric power and environmental conservation in Wisconsin.
