The West Enfield Dam, also known as the Stanford Dam, is a hydroelectric dam on the Penobscot River just above its confluence with the Piscataquis River between the towns of Enfield and Howland in Penobscot County, Maine. The dam actually traverses a thin strip of the territory of the Penobscot Indian Island Reservation. The dam has a fish passage. Its power plant has an 11.4 MW installed capacity.
