Lake Milt-Ann Dam dam
Lake Milt-Ann Dam
Lake Milt-Ann Dam, located in Harris, Georgia, was completed in 1956 and stands at a height of 31.4 feet. This earth dam, primarily used for recreation purposes, has a normal storage capacity of 156 acre-feet and a maximum storage capacity of 201.9 acre-feet. The dam spans 655 feet in length and has a surface area of 12 acres, providing a picturesque setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to explore.
Managed by a private owner, Lake Milt-Ann Dam is situated on Gin Creek and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia. The dam's hazard potential is rated as low, with a moderate risk assessment rating of 3. While the condition assessment is not rated, the dam is inspected every five years to ensure its structural integrity and safety. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, Lake Milt-Ann Dam offers a tranquil environment for outdoor activities and serves as a vital resource for the surrounding community.
Despite its low hazard potential, Lake Milt-Ann Dam remains a key recreational attraction in the Shiloh Environs area, drawing visitors to its serene waters and scenic surroundings. The dam's historical significance, coupled with its functional design by SCS (Hollis Billings), underscores its importance as a valuable water resource and climate asset in Harris County, Georgia. Whether for leisurely boating, fishing, or simply enjoying nature, Lake Milt-Ann Dam provides a peaceful retreat for enthusiasts seeking to connect with the beauty of the great outdoors.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Lake Milt-Ann Dam
Where does the data for Lake Milt-Ann Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
