Summary
The club sits on the banks of Buckhorn Creek and offers a serene and picturesque setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities. The dam at the club, completed in 1958, serves as a primary source of water for the surrounding area, providing a storage capacity of 129 acre-feet for recreational purposes.
The Earth-type dam at Troy Rod and Gun Club stands at a structural height of 18 feet, with a hydraulic height of 16 feet, and spans a length of 950 feet. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The club's proximity to nature and its peaceful surroundings make it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts looking to engage in outdoor activities such as fishing, hunting, and wildlife observation. With Martha Roby (R) representing Congressional District 02, Alabama, the club remains a hidden gem for those seeking a connection with the natural world.
While Troy Rod and Gun Club may not be regulated by the state or federal agencies and lacks inspection and enforcement measures, its commitment to providing a safe and enjoyable environment for its members is evident. The club's focus on recreation and its historical significance as a water source highlight its importance in preserving natural resources and promoting sustainable practices. As climate change continues to impact water resources, places like Troy Rod and Gun Club play a crucial role in educating and engaging the community on the importance of conservation and responsible water management practices.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
