The dam, designed by KOONS & WOOD, is an earth dam with a buttress core type and stands at a height of 14.6 feet. The lake created by the dam has a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet, with a normal storage level of 53 acre-feet and a surface area of 13.2 acres.
Despite its recreational significance, Pendleton Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment as of January 2019. The dam's last inspection revealed a need for improvement, with a risk assessment rating it as moderate (3). It is regulated by the GA-SAFE DAMS PROGRAM and undergoes regular inspections, but its emergency action plan status is unclear.
Located on Flat Creek and under the jurisdiction of the state of Georgia, Pendleton Lake Dam is a notable structure in the region. With its picturesque surroundings and importance for recreation, efforts to improve its condition and mitigate potential risks are essential for the safety and enjoyment of residents and visitors alike.
