Huntington North Dam (National ID # UT10122) is a dam in Emery County, Utah.
The earthen dam was constructed between 1964 and 1966 by the United States Bureau of Reclamation, with a height of 74 feet and a length of 1907 feet at its crest. [1] It impounds Huntington Creek for irrigation water storage as part of the Emery County Project. [2] The dam is owned by the Bureau, and operated by the local Emery Water Conservancy District.
The reservoir it creates, Huntington Lake, has a normal water surface of 242 acres, and a maximum storage capacity of 5,420 acre-feet. [3] Recreation includes camping, boating, hiking, fishing (for bluegill, sunfish, largemouth bass, and rainbow trout) [4] and the facilities of the adjacent Huntington State Park.
