LAKE LANCER DAM
The one-mile long Lake Lancer dam (also known as the Sugar River dam) was constructed in the 1970s. It is a 6000-foot earthen embankment with an 150-foot concrete primary spillway and concrete chute outlet.
Proposed improvements to the dam include repairing cracks in the weir crest and wall joint within the primary spillway, abandoning the cold-water discharge system, reshaping the downstream grade control structure, constructing a new cold water discharge system, removing of the existing fish ladder, and construction on a new enclosed baseflow system.
Lake Lancer
Lake Lancer covers 780 surface acres. At its deepest point, the lake is 30-feet deep. Legal lake levels for the lake, established in 1970, are 840 feet above sea level in summer and 839 feet in winter. The lake was created by a developer for recreation and is an all-sport lake for residents of the Sugar Springs development and the public.
