The dam, primarily owned by a private entity, stands at a height of 22.8 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is currently not regulated by the state and lacks inspections or enforcement measures.
Although the dam's construction designer remains unknown, its primary purpose is for recreation, offering a surface area of 6 acres for outdoor activities. While the dam features an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, it does not have associated structures or a history of modifications. Despite its condition being labeled as "Not Rated," the dam's risk management measures are currently unspecified, leaving its long-term sustainability and safety in question for water resource and climate enthusiasts to monitor closely.
