Located on the TR-ALABAMA RIVER, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 12 feet and a hydraulic height of 9 feet, with a length of 475 feet. The dam has a storage capacity of 158 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 700 cubic feet per second, serving as a crucial resource for the surrounding community.
Despite its low hazard potential, Henderson Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition and lacks an Emergency Action Plan (EAP). The dam is not owned or regulated by any federal agencies, operating solely under private ownership. However, its importance in providing recreational opportunities and water supply for the area underscores the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its safety and longevity. As a significant feature in the region's water resource infrastructure, Henderson Lake Dam plays a critical role in supporting both human activities and environmental conservation efforts along the Alabama River.
