Standing at a height of 31 feet and with a length of 249 feet, this earth dam holds a maximum storage capacity of 116 acre-feet, with a normal storage capacity of 61 acre-feet. The dam overlooks the Trib Kickapoo Creek and is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam is subject to regular state inspections, with the last inspection conducted in April 2019. With its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the Radnor Rod and Gun Club Lake Dam poses a moderate risk level of 3. This risk level prompts the need for continuous monitoring and potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and stability of the dam for both recreational and environmental purposes. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate will find this dam's design and function intriguing for its role in supporting recreational activities while also being subject to state regulatory oversight.
