Designed by L. Bates, this private Earth dam stands at a height of 34 feet and stretches 540 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 212 acre-feet and a surface area of 14 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, with the last inspection taking place in June 2018.
Although not regulated by the state, Lakeview Lake Dam is subject to periodic inspections and has been deemed to meet emergency action plan guidelines. It features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated locks or discharge mechanisms. The dam's risk management measures and overall risk characterization are currently unspecified, indicating a potential area for further assessment and improvement. This structure is a testament to the intersection of water resource management and recreational enjoyment in the heart of Georgia's natural landscapes.
