About Parker Pond

The primary purpose of Parker Pond is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Parker Pond Association (private). It impounds the Parker Pond.

The dam stands 14 feet tall and stretches 178 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 1,513 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 10,200 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 18 square miles. Completed in 1920, the structure is over a century old.

This dam has a significant hazard potential classification, meaning that a failure could cause significant economic damage — flooding roads, bridges, or property downstream — but is not expected to result in loss of life. Its condition is rated fair — the dam has minor deficiencies that are being addressed or do not pose an immediate safety threat. An emergency action plan is in place for this dam.
