description

Summary

Significance: Five Point Lake is the largest reservoired body of water in the Yellowstone drainage, and with a crest length of 970 feet, Five Point Lake Dam is the second longest of the earthen dams in the Upalco Unit. A representative earth-fill structure with stone riprap facing, the dam is additionally notable because of the original construction equipment left on-site. Essentially unaltered and well-preserved, the Five Point Lake Dam, with its natural stone spillway, is one of the most picturesque in the unit.
