Lake Solitude Dam, High Bridge (Hunterdon County)


The Lake Solitude Dam (Waterfall) was originally constructed in 1859 to provide hydro-power and hydro-electric power to the Taylor Iron and Steel Company. This dam structure is the earliest example of a steel reinforced dam, and the last remaining example of a buttress dam left in the state of New Jersey.
