Mount Morris Dam & Recreational Area

The Mount Morris Dam, located on the Genesee River in western New York, is the largest concrete gravity dam east of the Mississippi and a testament to mid-20th century infrastructure. Completed in 1952, the dam itself serves a vital role in flood control and water management, but its surrounding recreation area transforms the site into a vibrant destination for leisure and adventure.

Visitors can take guided tours, explore scenic trails that offer panoramic views of the dam and the expansive reservoir, and enjoy camping and picnicking within the lush landscape. The visitor center also features educational programs and exhibits about the dam's history and environmental impact, making it both a recreational escape and a place of learning.
