Built in 1965 by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, this dam stands at a height of 29 feet and stretches 245 feet in length. The primary purpose of Trackrock Lake Dam is for recreation, providing a surface area of 2 acres and a storage capacity of 30 acre-feet.
Despite being a low hazard potential dam with a moderate risk assessment, Trackrock Lake Dam is not currently regulated by the state of Georgia. Inspected every five years, its condition is not rated, and it operates with uncontrolled outlets and spillways. The dam poses minimal risk to the surrounding area, but its impact on water resources and climate in the region is worth monitoring for enthusiasts interested in the intersection of infrastructure and environmental conservation.
