Lake Pine Dam

About Lake Pine Dam

The primary purpose of Lake Pine Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Lake Pine Colony Club (private). It impounds the Haynes Creek near Medford.

The dam stands 14 feet tall and stretches 265 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 24 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 160 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 15 square miles. Completed in 1941, the structure is well-established, with more than 75 years of service.

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. The most recent inspection on record was 02/21/2024.
