The riverine reservoir it creates, North Hartland Lake, has a normal water surface of 215 acres, a maximum capacity of 94,600 acre-feet, and a much smaller normal capacity of 2350 acre-feet.[2] Recreation includes fishing, swimming and boating in the summer, and winter sports such as snowmobiling, cross country skiing, and snowshoeing.[3]
