The dam has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 4 acres, making it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor recreation.
Despite its recreational value, the Glenn Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential and has been assessed as in poor condition as of 2017. While the dam is state-regulated and inspected, its emergency action plan and risk management measures remain unspecified.
