High Mountain Dams in Bonneville Unit, Pot Lake Dam, Wasatch National Forest, Kamas, Summit County, UT
Summary
Significance: Pot, Fire and Weir lakes, all built in 1934 by the Provo Reservoir Company, are indicative of the renewed local interest in reservoir-building sparked by the drought of 1931. They are historically significant as among the last examples of private reservoir construction in the Provo River drainage. The smallest of the dams in the Bonneville Unit, the Pot Lake Dam displays typical small-scale earth-fill construction. It stands today essentially unaltered and intact.
