About Beaver Lake Dam
The primary purpose of Beaver Lake Dam is recreation. The dam creates a reservoir used for recreational activities such as fishing, boating, and swimming. The dam is owned by Beaver Creek Landowners Inc (private). It impounds the Tr-davidson Creek.
The dam stands 10 feet tall and stretches 500 feet across, creates a reservoir covering 4 acres, has a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet, and collects water from a drainage area of 83 square miles. Completed in 1960, the structure is well into its service life at over 50 years old.
