Everett Dam

It's a D day and this dam is in Weare, NH. It was built by the Army Corp of Engineers. When my children were very young we walked across the damn one day and discovered a cozy little white sand beach to the Everett Lake away from the public park on the opposite shore .

Anyway, back to the Dam...
Construction of Everett Dam started in November 1959 and was completed in January 1962. As with Hopkinton Dam, it provides protection to the Merrimack River Basin and reduces flood levels in its downstream communities. Everett Dam is an earth dam consisting of rolled earth fill with rock slope protection. It is approximately 2,000 feet long with a maximum height of 115 feet.
