The dam stands at 16 feet tall and stretches 690 feet in length, with a primary purpose of providing recreation opportunities for residents and visitors alike. With a storage capacity of 3,093 acre-feet and a surface area of 193 acres, Holley Lake Dam plays a crucial role in fire protection, stock, small fish pond management, and enhancing fish and wildlife habitats in the area.
Managed by the NWFWMD and regulated by the state of Florida, Holley Lake Dam has a high hazard potential but is currently assessed to be in fair condition. Despite this, the dam poses a moderate risk, with a maximum discharge of 60 cubic feet per second in the event of an emergency. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, and while it has not been modified in recent years, regular inspections are conducted to ensure its structural integrity and the safety of the surrounding community. With its scenic location along Narrows Creek and its importance for water resource management, Holley Lake Dam is a key feature of the region's natural landscape and recreational opportunities.
