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 600-foot earthen embankment that channels water into a concrete spillway chute.
Proposed improvements to the dam include maintaining the concrete spillway, repairing cracks in the weir crest and wall joint, abandoning the cold-water discharge system, reshaping the grade control structure, and adding more riprap.
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.
