Zosel Dam, Gravity dam in Okanogan County, United States
The concrete structure spans across the Okanogan River, maintaining water levels of Osoyoos Lake through a system of adjustable gates and spillways.
The original structure from 1927 served the Zosel Lumber Company for log storage until 1987 when the current dam replaced the deteriorating wooden installation.
The dam represents collaboration between United States and Canadian authorities, operating under international agreements to manage shared water resources.
The facility controls water flow year-round, supporting irrigation systems and maintaining consistent lake levels for agricultural and recreational purposes.
A 5.5 million dollar renovation project in 2024 includes new spillway gates and electrical systems while keeping the dam operational during construction.
