About Robertson Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Robertson Lake Dam is debris control. The dam is designed to catch sediment, rocks, and debris carried by flowing water — particularly important in areas prone to mudslides or heavy erosion. The dam is owned by James B Robertson (private). It impounds the Tr-musko Br near Wyaconda.
The dam stands 20 feet tall, creates a reservoir covering 10 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 107 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 105 square miles. Completed in 1964, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
This dam has a low hazard potential classification, meaning that failure would cause minimal damage, limited primarily to the dam owner's property, with no expected loss of life.
