The vestiges of the 1861-1957 wing dam are seen in this modern photo below. The stone wall separating the north bank of the spillway from the small park above was the location of the former wing dam.
According to an 1816 map, the falls at this location dropped 8 feet 5 inches. (In 1816, Lakeport was known as “Folsoms Bridge”.)
The Lakeport Dam is depicted on a 1917 postcard. The view is looking downstream from the Paugus Bay side towards the Elm Street bridge, newly built in concrete in 1914.
