This recreational dam stands at 18 feet in height and has a storage capacity of 53 acre-feet, primarily used for fish and wildlife pond purposes. With a low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.
Despite being last inspected in 1994, Jordan Dam continues to serve its purpose effectively, with a normal storage capacity of 45 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 170 cubic feet per second. The dam's design and construction by the Natural Resources Conservation Service have ensured its structural integrity over the years. While the dam is not regularly regulated or inspected by federal agencies, its recreational value and low hazard potential make it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts in the Allentown area.
