Griffith Lake Dam Gets Major Upgrade | Dover News

Griffith Lake Dam is getting a major upgrade starting August 2026 to fix critical seepage and structural voids that threaten its safety—after emergency repairs in 2006 and recurring issues by 2023. Led by DNREC, the $10M project will rebuild the spillway, upgrade the outlet, and extend the dam’s life while minimizing future risks. Expect closures to parking, boat ramp, and part of Griffith Lake Drive during construction, wrapping up by December 2027—all to keep this vital recreation spot safe and functional for years to come.
