Summary
Built in 1942, this earth dam stands at a structural height of 30 feet with a hydraulic height of 26 feet, providing a storage capacity of 110 acre-feet. The dam serves primarily for recreational purposes and has a low hazard potential with a condition assessment that is currently not rated. The lake offers a serene escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various water activities in a picturesque natural setting.
Managed by the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Wedowee Club Lake has not undergone any significant modifications since its completion. With a maximum discharge capacity of 620 cubic feet per second, the dam ensures controlled water release during heavy rainfall events to prevent flooding downstream. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam's emergency action plan status, risk assessment, and management measures remain unspecified, suggesting a need for further evaluation and preparation in case of emergencies. Overall, Wedowee Club Lake presents an inviting opportunity for outdoor recreation while highlighting the importance of maintaining proper dam safety protocols in water resource management.
For those interested in exploring Wedowee Club Lake, the tranquil waters and surrounding natural beauty offer a peaceful retreat for fishing, boating, and wildlife observation. With its moderate storage capacity and low hazard potential, the lake provides a secure environment for recreational activities while also serving as a reminder of the vital role that proper dam maintenance and emergency preparedness play in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources. Whether you're a climate enthusiast or simply looking for a place to unwind in nature, Wedowee Club Lake is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered and enjoyed.

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.
