Eden Isle Lake Dam dam
Eden Isle Lake Dam
Eden Isle Lake Dam, located in Heber Springs, Arkansas, was completed in 1965 and serves as a recreational spot for water enthusiasts. The dam, standing at 26 feet tall and with a length of 325 feet, holds a storage capacity of 160 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 13 acres. Situated on the Greers' Ferry Lake-TR river/stream, this private-owned structure is regulated by the Arkansas Natural Resources Commission and undergoes regular inspections, with a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated".
Despite its low hazard potential, Eden Isle Lake Dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities for visitors and locals alike. The dam's design, constructed with earth materials, ensures its structural integrity and safety for all activities around the lake. With a normal storage capacity of 122 acre-feet, the dam contributes to the beauty and functionality of the surrounding Cleburne County area, offering a serene escape for water and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor adventures.
As a key feature of the landscape in Cleburne County, Eden Isle Lake Dam remains an essential part of the region's recreational infrastructure. With a focus on providing safe and enjoyable experiences for visitors, the dam stands as a testament to responsible water resource management and sustainable recreation practices. Its location on the Greers' Ferry Lake-TR river/stream adds to the natural beauty of the area, making it a popular destination for those seeking to connect with the outdoors and enjoy the benefits of a well-maintained water resource facility.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No 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.
- 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.
- 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.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams 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, environmental 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.

About Eden Isle Lake Dam
Where does the data for Eden Isle Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
