Hodges Village Dam

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hodges Village Dam, a United States Army Corps of Engineers flood control project on the French River (Massachusetts) in Oxford, Massachusetts was built in 1959 as a response to the 1936 floods which took lives and caused tremendous property damage in the Thames River basin of Connecticut. The surrounding lands are open to hunting, fishing, hiking, and boating. There are 15 miles of hiking trails on the property, as well as an ORV-only trail on the west side of the dam.

The 90 mile Midstate Trail trail passes through the project.
