This Earth dam, with a height of 16.1 feet and a hydraulic height of 15.5 feet, impounds the Choctahatchee Creek, creating a surface area of 85.6 acres and a storage capacity of 888.4 acre-feet. The dam is of low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Although Youngs Millpond Dam is not regulated by the state, it undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in February 2003. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks. Despite its moderate risk assessment score of 3, the dam has not had an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) prepared or updated, suggesting potential areas for improvement in emergency preparedness. With its historical significance and recreational value, Youngs Millpond Dam remains a notable landmark in the Magnolia Springs Environ area.
