Moore Reservoir is animpoundment on theConnecticut River located in the communities ofLittleton, New Hampshire;Dalton, New Hampshire;Waterford, Vermont; andConcord, Vermont. It occupies approximately 3,181 acres (12.87 km2).[1]

It was created by the completion of theMoore Dam in 1956, which caused the flooding of several villages, includingPattenville, New Hampshire, and oldWaterford, Vermont.[2] Moore Dam is now owned and operated byTransCanada Corporation. With a capacity of 192 megawatts, it is the most productive of TransCanada's thirteen hydroelectric facilities in New England.[3]

The lake is classified as a cold- and warmwater fishery, with observed species includingbrook trout,rainbow trout,brown trout,smallmouth andlargemouth bass,chain pickerel,bullpout,northern pike, androck bass.[1]

Separated from the main reservoir by the Curran-McAvoy Causeway (on which runsInterstate 93), Pine Island, pictured here at low water level, is a popular area for boating and swimming.
