Lake June Dam dam
Lake June Dam
Lake June Dam, located in Stamps, Arkansas, is a rockfill dam built in 1951 for the primary purpose of recreation. With a hydraulic height of 8 feet and a structural height of 11 feet, the dam spans a length of 1100 feet and has a storage capacity of 394 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Crooked Branch and is owned by a private entity, with no state regulation or permitting required.
The dam's low hazard potential and "Not Rated" condition assessment make it a safe and well-maintained structure for water resource and climate enthusiasts to visit. While there are no associated structures or emergency action plan in place, the dam serves as a popular recreational spot with a surface area of 59.8 acres. The Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers oversees the dam's operations, ensuring it continues to provide recreational opportunities for visitors.
Lake June Dam offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy activities such as fishing, boating, and hiking in Lafayette County, Arkansas. Despite its lack of state jurisdiction, the dam remains a picturesque destination for those looking to appreciate the intersection of water resource management and natural beauty. With its historic construction and modern-day recreational offerings, Lake June Dam is a must-visit location for anyone interested in exploring the diverse landscapes of Arkansas.

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 Lake June Dam
Where does the data for Lake June 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.
