Maple River Dam
This major water retention project was completed through a decades-long cooperative effort, which included the Cass County Joint Water Resource District, the RRJWRD, and several state agencies.
Construction on Maple River Dam began in the fall of 2004, and it was deemed operational only two years later in the fall of 2006. All elements of construction were completed during the summer of 2007.
Maple River Dam is located in southeast North Dakota, approximately eight miles northeast of Enderlin. It is a 70-foot high earthen embankment dry dam that is capable of retaining 60,000 acre-feet of floodwater.
