The earthen dam was constructed in 1953 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers with a height of 127 feet and a length at its crest of 925 feet. It impounds Cold Brook Creek for flood control. The dam is owned and operated by the Corps of Engineers.

The reservoir it creates, Cold Brook Lake, has a water surface of 36 acres and has a maximum capacity of 7200 acre-feet. Recreation is year-round and includes canoeing, fishing, swimming, wildlife viewing, and camping, and (in the winter) ice fishing, skating, and cross-country skiing.
