Completed in 1960, this dam stands at a height of 8.8 feet and has a hydraulic height of 9.4 feet. With a length of 745 feet and a storage capacity of 264 acre-feet, Jackson Lake Dam serves a vital role in water resource management for the area.
Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition assessment. The last inspection in January 2018 deemed it to be in satisfactory condition. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam has not been modified over the years and is overseen by the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Water enthusiasts and climate enthusiasts alike can appreciate the important role that Jackson Lake Dam plays in the local ecosystem and the surrounding community.
