| Guernsey State Park consists of 6,227 land acres and 2,375 water surface areas. The elevation of the reservoir shoreline is 4,420 feet. Construction of Guernsey Dam and Power plant began on June 1, 1925 and was completed in July 1927. Guernsey Dam is a diaphragm-type embankment with a structural height of 135 feet and a length of 560 feet along its crest. The original capacity of the reservoir was 73,810 acre feet, but this has been greatly reduced by silt deposits to about 46,000 acre feet. The PowerPoint contains two generating units, each with a capacity of 2,400 kilowatts. Guernsey State Park provides seven campgrounds (142 campsites), three day use areas and four boat ramps.
