Folmar is a privately owned dam located in Lee County, Alabama, along the Sougahatchee Creek.
Built in 1950, this earth dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, offering a storage capacity of 170 acre-feet and a hydraulic height of 26 feet, with a structural height reaching 30 feet. The dam spans 575 feet in length and has a maximum discharge capacity of 2516 cubic feet per second.
With a low hazard potential and a current condition assessment of "Not Rated," Folmar dam has not been subject to recent inspections or evaluations.
