Mauch Chunk Lake

The Mauch Chunk Lake was originally built by a dam designed by the United States Army Corps of Engineers in early 1972.

Constructed as a 50 foot (15 m) high earthen dam 1,710 feet (520 m) long and holds a 320 acres (130 ha) reservoir.

It was commissioners Agnes T McCartney and Rep. Daniel Flood who oversaw the venture.

Before this manmade lake was opened, the water that ran from the natural springs fed atop the Mauch Chunk Mountain was cause for alarm for the Mauch Chunk Creek.
