Completed in 1969, this earth dam stands at a height of 22.1 feet and has a storage capacity of 686.6 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the picturesque Sweetwater Creek and offers visitors a serene setting for outdoor activities such as fishing and boating.
With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the Wohlwender Lake Dam has not been inspected since May 2016, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years. Despite its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam maintains a satisfactory condition assessment and has not been rated for emergency action preparedness. Although it falls under state jurisdiction, the dam is not regulated by the state, highlighting the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring by the private owner to ensure the safety and integrity of this recreational structure.
