Constructed in 1966 by the USDA NRCS, this earth dam stands at a height of 17 feet and spans 610 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 137 acre-feet, the lake covers an area of 11 acres and is fed by the Toast Brook and Honey Run.
Despite being a low hazard potential structure with a "Not Rated" condition assessment, Marshall King Lake has not undergone inspection since December 1981. The dam, managed by the Natural Resources Conservation Service, lacks certain emergency preparedness measures such as an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) and updated contact information. However, with its picturesque location and recreational offerings, the lake continues to attract water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities in the heart of Indiana.
