This private earth dam stands at a height of 23 feet and is situated on the Chickalah Creek-TR river or stream. While it is not regulated by the state, Long Dam is still considered to have a significant hazard potential, highlighting the importance of regular inspections and emergency preparedness.
Despite not having a designated dam length or storage capacity, Long Dam remains a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the area. Owned by a private entity, this structure offers opportunities for outdoor activities and scenic views along its reservoir. While the dam's condition assessment is currently not rated, ongoing efforts to ensure its safety and maintenance are essential for the surrounding community and environment.
With Congressman Bruce Westerman (R) representing the district, Long Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of human intervention and natural landscapes. As enthusiasts continue to explore and engage with this recreational site, the significance of understanding its role in water resource management and climate resilience becomes increasingly vital.
