Cleveland Dam, Concrete dam in District of North Vancouver, Canada
Cleveland Dam rises 91 meters high at the head of Capilano River, forming a barrier that creates the 670-acre Capilano Lake reservoir.
The Greater Vancouver Water District constructed Cleveland Dam between 1951 and 1954 to secure drinking water supplies for the Lower Mainland region.
The structure carries the name of Ernest Albert Cleveland, the first commissioner of Greater Vancouver Water District who managed regional water resources.
Visitors can access the dam through designated parking areas on Capilano Road or by taking bus lines 232, 236, or 247 from Vancouver.
The dam's spillway releases create water patterns visible from multiple observation points, while the Lions mountains form the background of Capilano Lake.
