1971 Beltzville Dam on Pohopoco Creek

(Satellite)

USACE, Philadelphia District posted three photos with the comment: "Beltzville Dam was officially commissioned 54 years ago in 1971!🎉 The construction of this Dam was authorized primarily for flood risk management, water supply, and low flow augmentation; and authorized secondarily for water quality and recreation purposes. Since its construction, Beltzville Dam has prevented millions in flood damages, and continues to reduce flooding in communities along the Lehigh River."

I couldn't find any dimensions for the dam nor capacities for the reservoir.

This view out of the window indicates that this building must have been the powerhouse.

The Seneca Chief Arrives in Newark, NY:  The Seneca Chief replica vessel pushed east today [Sep 30, 2025] as it left Fairport, NY this morning and entered Wayne County.  Fitting that I parked myself under an apple tree there as Wayne County has some of the best orchards in America.

The building on the left side of this view is the building in John's photo above.
