High Mountain Dams in Upalco Unit, Milk Lake Dam, Ashley National Forest, 9.4 miles Northwest of Swift Creek Campground, Mountain Home, Duchesne County, UT
Summary
Significance: Situated picturesquely on the western tip of Milk Lake at the base of a steep mountainside, the Milk Lake Dam is perhaps the most visually striking of the Upalco Unit dams. It is technologically significant as the only grouted stone masonry dam in the Unit. Beset by structural problems since its completion and the subject of numerous Forest Service complaints, the dam's checkered history makes it appropriate as a symbol of Forest Service leniency and permitee noncompliance.
