With a normal storage capacity of 53 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 56 acre-feet, the dam sits on TR-Tumkeehatchee Creek in the Mobile District.
Despite being privately owned, Wingard Lake Dam is considered to have a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. The dam has not been subjected to recent inspections, and there is no Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place at this time. However, the dam's low hazard potential and the picturesque surroundings make it a popular spot for outdoor activities and a great destination for those interested in water resources and climate research.
