Completed in 1955, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 23 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 342 acre-feet. Its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 25 acres for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy.
The dam is regulated by the Georgia Safe Dams Program and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity. With a high hazard potential but a satisfactory condition assessment as of January 2013, the dam poses moderate risks that are being managed effectively. Despite being uncontrolled, the spillway and outlet gates help regulate water levels, and the dam's moderate risk level has led to a two-year inspection frequency to monitor any potential issues.
Located within the Jacksonville District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, Timberlake Dam provides both recreational opportunities and essential water resource management for the surrounding area. Its role in providing water storage and flood protection makes it a vital structure for the community and a focal point for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in understanding the intersection of dam infrastructure and environmental sustainability.
