[2] The dam was constructed in 1931–1932 and created the Ford Lake reservoir at 975 acres (395 ha).

The dam is approximately 36 miles (58 km) from the Huron River's mouth at Lake Erie.

The area surrounding the dam's output is organized into two parks operated by the township.

Along with the adjacent, undeveloped South Hydro Park, the area is popular for shore fishermen and canoeing/kayaking along the Huron River to Belleville Lake.
