Constructed in 1896, the original dam was of earthen construction, or rock fill. It had a height of 29 feet (8.8 m), with a width of 850 feet (260 m).[3] The dam was reconstructed in 2005, only to collapse months later, flooding and damaging nearby property.[2]

The pond is owned by the town of Fort Ann, and is primarily used for recreational purposes.[3] The pond has a surface area of 220 acres (0.89 km2).[2]

Fishing

Fish species in the lake include northern pike, white sucker, brown bullhead, rock bass, pumpkinseed sunfish, bluegill, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, carp, and yellow perch. There is carry down access at the public beach off Hadlock Pond Road on the south shore with parking. There is a parking fee during the summer.[5]
