Mud Mountain Dam is a dam in King County, Washington, a few miles southeast of Enumclaw. The dam impounds the White River and is used for flood control. The dam was finished in 1948 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, although the project had been authorized by an act of Congress in June 1936. Construction had begun in 1939 and was delayed by World War II. At 432 feet high, it was the highest rock- and earth-filled dam in the world at its completion.

| - Der Mud Mountain Dam ist ein Staudamm im King County im US-Bundesstaat Washington, ein paar Meilen südöstlich von Enumclaw. Der Damm wurde 1948 vom United States Army Corps of Engineers fertiggestellt, obwohl das Projekt bereits im Juni 1936 durch ein Gesetz des US-Kongresses genehmigt worden war. Der Bau begann 1939 und wurde durch den Zweiten Weltkrieg verzögert. Bei seiner Fertigstellung war er mit einer Höhe von 131,7 Metern der höchste Stein-Erd-Damm der Welt. Der Mud Mountain Dam staut den White River zu Hochwasserschutzzwecken. Seit den 1870er Jahren stritten die Famer des King und des Pierce County um das Wasser des White River. Dabei ging es nicht nur um zeitweilige Überschwemmungen, sondern auch um Laufverlegungen des Flusses, insbesondere 1906, als der White River einen dauerhaften Durchbruch zum kürzeren, südwärts führenden Lauf des Stuck River schuf. Die Beratungen mit dem Ingenieur Hiram M. Chittenden führten schließlich zur Entscheidung, den Fluss aufzustauen. Der geschaffene Stausee, der Mud Mountain Lake, ist ein flussartiger, sumpfiger und in der Wasserführung periodisch schwankender See. Das U. S. Army Corps of Engineers betreibt ein Naherholungsgebiet am Damm, das Mud Mountain Recreational Area, welches Picknick-Plätze enthält, Kunstobjekte ausstellt und ein Wanderwegenetz von zehn Meilen (16 km) umfasst.

- Mud Mountain Dam is a dam in King County, Washington, a few miles southeast of Enumclaw. The dam impounds the White River and is used for flood control. The dam was finished in 1948 by the United States Army Corps of Engineers, although the project had been authorized by an act of Congress in June 1936. Construction had begun in 1939 and was delayed by World War II. At 432 feet high, it was the highest rock- and earth-filled dam in the world at its completion. Mud Mountain Dam protects the lower White and Puyallup River valleys from flooding by holding back water from heavy rains or excessive snow melt and slowly releasing it downstream. From the 1870s local farmers of King and Pierce County competed for water from the White River, dealing not only with periodic flooding but with changes in its channel, notably in 1906 when the White permanently broke through to the shorter, southward channel of the Stuck River. Consultation with the engineer Hiram M. Chittenden eventually led to the decision to dam the river. The created reservoir, Mud Mountain Lake, is a riverine, marshy intermittent lake. The lake is usually dry except for the normal flow of the White River, but it fills with water during periods of high flow. The Corps of Engineers operates a day-use park at the dam site, the Mud Mountain Recreational Area, with picnic facilities, interpretive exhibits, and ten miles of hiking trails. (en)
