This earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 72 acre-feet. Situated along the Little Maumelle-OS river, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts looking to enjoy water-based activities in the area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Dougan Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The dam has not undergone recent inspections, and there is no emergency action plan in place. While the structure has not been modified over the years, it remains a vital part of the local landscape for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate.
As part of the Vicksburg District, Dougan Lake Dam does not fall under state jurisdiction or regulation. With no state permitting or inspection requirements, the dam's operation and maintenance are solely the responsibility of the private owner. As the dam continues to provide recreational opportunities in the region, it underscores the importance of community involvement in ensuring the safety and sustainability of water resources in the area.
