Treece Dam, is a private dam located in Tippecanoe County, Indiana. Completed in 1974, this earth dam stands at 34 feet in height and stretches 430 feet in length. The dam serves primarily for recreation purposes, providing a surface area of 5 acres and a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet.
Situated on an unnamed tributary of Sugar Creek, Treece Lake Dam is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections. However, the dam's condition assessment from 2008 reported it to be in poor condition, with a high hazard potential. Despite this, the risk assessment deems the dam to have a moderate risk level.
With its picturesque location and recreational opportunities, Treece Lake Dam offers enthusiasts a chance to appreciate the intersection of water resources and climate in Indiana. However, concerns about the dam's condition highlight the importance of ongoing maintenance and risk management to ensure the safety and sustainability of this water resource for future generations.
