This private Earth dam, with a height of 27.4 feet and a length of 560 feet, has a storage capacity of 112 acre-feet and serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities. The dam's low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment make it a relatively safe structure, although its condition has not been officially rated.
Managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Shivers Dam 2 has not undergone recent inspections, with the last recorded assessment dating back to 2009. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam remains a vital resource for the local community and visitors alike. Its location in the picturesque city of Jewell, near the unknown river or stream, offers a tranquil setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore and appreciate the surrounding natural beauty.
