Built in 1950 by J.B. McCrary, this earth dam stands at a height of 21 feet and spans a length of 705 feet along Cedar Creek. Serving primarily as a water supply source, the dam has a storage capacity of 250 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 201 acre-feet, covering a surface area of 27 acres.
With a high hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of 2017, Winder Reservoir Dam is subject to regular inspections every two years to ensure its structural integrity. While the dam features uncontrolled spillways and outlet gates, it is designed to manage potential risks associated with moderate levels of inundation. The dam plays a crucial role in water resource management, impacting the surrounding community and ecosystems while standing as a testament to sustainable infrastructure in the face of changing climate conditions.
