Otter Brook Dam prevents 2 catastrophic floods- Roxbury, NH - High Level Marks on Waymarking.com

Otter Brook Dam has twice prevented major destruction during flood events - in April, 1969 and June, 1984. The flood levels and dates are clearly marked at 82 and 88 feet, on the main water level indicator on the tower of the dam. Standing at the base of the dam, and looking at the valley surrounding the lake makes it obvious, there was a tremendous amount of water here!
The website for the dam describes the events in more detail, including a photo of the first and only use of the dam's main spillway in 1984 - (visit link)
