The dam, designed by SCS, stands at a height of 19 feet and stretches 560 feet in length, holding a storage capacity of 167 acre-feet. Situated on Calna Creek, the dam is of Earth type with a buttress core, and features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates.
Despite being privately owned, Goodroe Lake Dam falls under state jurisdiction and undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in January 2018. Classified as having a low hazard potential and moderate risk level, the dam has not been rated for its condition. While it does not have a state permit, it meets state inspection requirements, with enforcement responsibilities delegated to the state. With its picturesque setting and recreational offerings, Goodroe Lake Dam stands as a testament to the intersection of water resource management and climate resilience in the region.
