Hull Plan Lake

About Hull Plan Lake

The primary purpose of Hull Plan Lake is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Hull Plan Residents Association (private). It impounds the Tr Connoquenessing Creek.

The dam stands 25 feet tall and stretches 400 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 12 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 220 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 0 square miles.

This dam carries a high hazard potential classification, which means that a failure or uncontrolled release of water would likely cause loss of human life. This classification reflects the consequences of failure, not the likelihood — it indicates that people live or work in the area downstream. Its condition is rated poor, meaning the dam has recognized safety deficiencies that require remediation to address risks. Notably, no emergency action plan is currently on file for this high-hazard dam. The most recent inspection on record was 06/04/2020.
