Chain Lake Dam is an earth-filled embankment, complete with a concrete spillway and a corrugated steel culvert Low Level Outlet (LLO). The dam, located in Electoral Area "H" approximately 36 km northeast of Princeton, British Columbia, is situated at the south end of Chain Lake and flows into Hayes Creek. The dam currently impounds approximately 1,348,000 m³ of water at the spillway crest level, and the watershed area upstream of the dam is approximately 9.2 km². Currently, the consequence classification for the dam is rated “Significant” and partial failure could lead to downstream flooding and flood damage.
