Franklin Falls Dam

The dam was constructed between 1939 and 1943 by the Army Corps of Engineers[1] and extends for 0.75 miles (1.21 km) across the river.

During its construction, the neighboring residents of the town of Hill were forced to relocate to higher ground due to rising water levels created by the dam.

The total area of the project, including surrounding managed lands, is 3,683 acres (1,490 ha).

The Franklin Falls Reservoir hosts a variety of recreational activities, including hiking, mountain biking, fishing, kayaking, hunting, snowshoeing and Disc Golf.
