Edenville DamThe Edenville Dam is located on the Tittabawassee and Tobacco Rivers near Edenville, Michigan. The Edenville Dam was built to provide water level control for the purpose of hydro-electric power generation and received its original license from FERC in 1998. On May 19, 2020, an extreme rain event caused the Tittabawassee and Tobacco rivers to swell and resulted in the breach of the Edenville Dam. Source: Four Lakes Lake Level Study by Spicer Group |
