The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced the completion of dam maintenance work at Cameron Pond, Steuben County. Located within the Cameron State Forest, the dam now complies with New York State dam safety requirements to reduce the risk for flooding, preserve natural habitat, and protect public safety.
DEC closed Cameron Pond in March 2025 for improvements and maintenance to the existing auxiliary spillway, the low-level outlet, and the earthen embankment. The access road and parking lot are also freshly graveled and graded.
Outdoor recreational use is permitted; however, the water remains low.
New York Works funded the project design and construction costs.
