High Mountain Dams in Bonneville Unit, Duck Lake Dam, Wasatch National Forest, Kamas, Summit County, UT
Summary
Significance: Typical earth-fill structures, the dams on Duck and Marjorie lakes were constructed using similar specifications, including the stipulation for "carefully hand-laid rock faces." That are representative of a more aesthetic dam engineering philosophy which resulted from National Forest Service multi-use goals. Duck and Marjorie lakes are significant as the last reservoirs created on the Provo River drainage prior to Federal involvement in Utah's irrigation dam construction.
