Audrey Lake Dam dam
Audrey Lake Dam
Audrey Lake Dam, also known as Autry Lake Dam, is a private structure located in Fulton County, Georgia, specifically in the city of Duluth. Designed by LAW ENGINEERING, this Earth-type dam stands at a height of 16.1 feet and serves primarily for recreational purposes, with a storage capacity of 121 acre-feet. Despite being unlisted as a state-regulated dam, it undergoes regular inspections, with the last one conducted in May 2017.
Situated in the Savannah District, Audrey Lake Dam poses an undetermined hazard potential and has a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, with no associated structures. Although lacking certain regulatory oversight, the dam remains operational for recreational activities, covering a surface area of 13 acres. With its prime location and serene surroundings, the dam offers a tranquil escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a unique outdoor experience in the heart of Georgia.
In the realm of water resource and climate interests, Audrey Lake Dam stands as a hidden gem in Fulton County, providing a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. With its picturesque setting and recreational focus, this privately-owned structure offers a blend of tranquility and adventure, making it a must-visit destination for those looking to connect with the natural world.

Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.

About Audrey Lake Dam
Where does the data for Audrey Lake Dam come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Undetermined hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
