Managed by a private owner, this earth dam on Vote Creek has a height of 13 feet and a length of 510 feet, with a storage capacity of 128 acre-feet. The dam also serves as a fish and wildlife pond, covering a surface area of 10 acres and draining a 1.21 square mile watershed.
With a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, Fryer Dam is regulated and inspected by the Northwest Florida Water Management District. The dam's spillway, measuring 100 feet wide, is uncontrolled, and its outlet gates are also uncontrolled. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it is important to note that the last inspection took place in 1994. Despite its age, Fryer Dam continues to play a crucial role in sustaining water resources for irrigation and supporting wildlife in the area.
