Tukuk-OS🌊 Sanford Lake
United States · Americas · 43.70°N, 84.38°W
Sanford Lake is a temporarily dry, man-made reservoir located near the village of Sanford in Midland County, Michigan. First flooded in 1925, it drained when the failure of the Sanford Dam restored the natural flow of the Tittabawassee River in May 2020. The dam, originally built for flood control and the production of hydroelectric power, is owned and operated by the Four Lakes Task Force, a property owners' group that was established by the Midland and Gladwin County boards of commissioners to oversee the dams and the impoundment lakes created by them, who took over ownership as a condition of the settlement agreement that resulted from the condemnation proceedings with former dam owner, Boyce Hydro, LLC. Reconstruction of the dam is scheduled to be completed in early 2026, at which point the reservoir will be refilled.
