Lake Overton Improvements Groundbreaking - April 18, 2024

Henrico County will soon begin construction on a project that will provide a new earthen dam and other improvements at Lake Overton to address longstanding safety concerns and enhance water quality. County officials gathered today with community members and others at the site off Wilkinson Road, near Three Lakes Park, for a ground-breaking ceremony.
The dam in Lake Overton was damaged during Hurricane Gaston in 2004 and no longer meets state requirements. As a safety precaution, Henrico lowered the lake’s water level until repairs could be made. The lake is owned by the Three Fountains North Civic Association.
Henrico worked with the civic association to come to an agreement whereby Henrico will manage the repairs to the dam while making other environmental improvements to the lake as well as eventually developing a public trail leading from the subdivision into Three Lakes Park. The project will cost about $1.5 million, partially covered by a grant from the state.
