Croton Dam is an earth-filled embankment dam and powerplant complex on the Muskegon River in Croton Township, Newaygo County, Michigan. It was built in 1907 under the direction of William D. Fargo by the Grand Rapids – Muskegon Power Company, a predecessor of Consumers Energy. The 40ft dam impounds 7.2 billion U.S. gallons of water in its 1209acre reservoir and is capable of producing 8,850 kilowatts at peak outflow. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.
