The Genkeltalsperre is a pure drinking water dam and is located in the urban areas of Gummersbach and Meinerzhagen. It is mainly fed by the Genkel and Grotmicke rivers. Most households in the area can be supplied with drinking water from the Genkeltalsperre. It was built in 1950–53.

"The Genkeltalsperre is located between the urban areas of Gummersbach and Meinerzhagen in a very scenic region. The main tributaries are the Genkel and Grotmicke. Around the dam there is a circular path that is ideal for hiking and jogging. In 2003, a water educational trail was laid out..."
