Wyman Dam, Embankment dam in Somerset County, Maine.
The Wyman Dam extends 3,054 feet across the Kennebec River with a height of 155 feet, combining earthen and concrete construction methods.
Built in 1930 by Central Maine Power Company, the dam received its name from Walter S. Wyman, who served as the company president.
The dam creates Wyman Lake, which marks territorial boundaries between Moscow, Pleasant Ridge Plantation, Caratunk, and Northwest Somerset communities.
Three turbine generators within the power plant produce 72 megawatts of electricity, supporting regional energy requirements through hydroelectric generation.
The reservoir formed by Wyman Dam holds 194,016 acre-feet of water and maintains a surface area exceeding 5 square miles.
