List of dam removals in the United States
This is a list of dams in the United States that have been removed as physical impediments to free-flowing rivers or streams. Dams are not included if they have instead failed, or if they have been decommissioned but not yet removed. Dam removal takes many forms, and some removals may leave structures behind or alter the natural course of a river. According to the non-profit advocacy organization American Rivers, 1,951 dams were removed in the United States between 1912 and 2021. The peak year was 2018, which saw 111 removals. Pennsylvania removed 364 dams in this period, more than any other state. Mississippi is the only state with no documented dam removals. Major removals
