Built in 1975 by the USDA NRCS, this dam stands at a height of 20 feet and spans 250 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 38 acre-feet. Situated on Williams Creek, this dam offers a serene setting for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities on its 3-acre surface area.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment is rated as poor, with the last inspection conducted in 2004. The dam's emergency action plan (EAP) status and risk assessment information are currently unavailable, raising concerns about its maintenance and safety protocols. With Larry Bucshon representing the area in Congress, there is a need for increased attention and potentially updated measures to ensure the long-term stability and resilience of Lakewood Estates Lake Dam for the community and environment it serves.
