About Lisbon Pond Dam

The primary purpose of Lisbon Pond Dam is fish and wildlife pond. The dam creates habitat for fish and wildlife, supporting local ecosystems and potentially serving conservation goals. The dam is owned by Teixeira, Ii (private). It impounds the Negro Brook near Lisbon.

The dam stands 11 feet tall and stretches 60 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 29 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 123 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 29 square miles. Completed in 1959, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
