The dam, primarily constructed for recreational purposes, holds a maximum storage capacity of 1158 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 46 acres. It is situated on an unnamed tributary of Camp Creek and is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
With a high hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Nebo Lake Dam is subject to regular inspections with the last one conducted in July 2020. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 19 feet and has a drainage area of 0.36 square miles. Despite its moderate risk assessment rating, the dam poses a potential risk to downstream communities in case of a failure. Nebo Lake Dam serves as an essential component of the local water resource infrastructure, providing both recreational opportunities and vital flood control measures.
