The Milford Dam is a dam on the Penobscot River between Old Town and Milford in Penobscot County, Maine. The dam received a new fish lift as a part of an extensive project involving four dams to restore eleven species of sea-run fish to the Penobscot River. The Great Works Dam was removed in 2012 and was just downstream of the Milford Dam.[2] [3] [4] The dam's power plant has an 8 MW installed capacity.[5]
