The dam spans 400 feet in length and is situated on an unnamed tributary of Honey Creek, offering a surface area of 22 acres for outdoor activities.
Despite its fair condition assessment and low hazard potential, the dam has a moderate risk rating and undergoes inspections every five years. The spillway, with a width of 50 feet, is uncontrolled, and there are no outlet gates associated with the structure. The dam's primary purpose is recreation, providing opportunities for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities. The dam is state-regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, ensuring ongoing monitoring and enforcement to maintain its safety and integrity for visitors and nearby residents.
