Although the dam has a low hazard potential, it is subject to regular inspections to ensure its structural integrity and safety. The last inspection in July 2017 deemed the dam to be in satisfactory condition. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam is designed to manage water flow effectively. Despite being privately owned, the dam falls under state jurisdiction and is not regulated by federal agencies, highlighting the local management of this vital water resource.
Water and climate enthusiasts visiting Hardaway Lake Dam can appreciate the careful design and construction that went into creating this recreational haven. With its moderate risk assessment and overall condition assessment rated as 'Not Rated,' the dam continues to provide a safe and enjoyable environment for visitors to embrace the beauty of nature while engaging in various water activities.
