The dam and powerhouse were built between 1951 and 1953 near the confluence of the Tobique River with the Saint John River, several kilometers north of the village of Perth-Andover and 35 km upriver from the Beechwood Dam.
Highway 105 crosses the Tobique River along the top of the dam. A fish ladder helps migratory fish circumvent the 24 m head of the dam. The dam spans the river between Perth Parish, Victoria County on the south side, and Tobique First Nation on the north side.
