Mount Morris Dam

Located in Letchworth State Park
Mt. Morris, NY

The Mt. Morris dam was built in 1952, at a cost of $20,000,000. The crest is 790 feet and the spillway is 760 feet above sea level. It was built after nearly 100 years of debate, on how to best save to the lower portion of Rochester and rural areas south of the city from flooding. So far the dam has succeeded it's purpose.
