Club Dam, located in Ramona, Indiana, was completed in 1978 by the USDA NRCS and serves as a private recreational facility for water and climate enthusiasts. The earth dam stands at a height of 18 feet and spans 440 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 66 acre-feet for the surrounding area. With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," the dam has not been inspected since December 1980.
Situated along TR-NOANS BR and Little Mill CR, the dam offers a serene escape for visitors looking to enjoy the 5-acre surface area and tranquil surroundings. Despite not being regulated or inspected by state agencies, the dam continues to provide recreational opportunities for the community. With the support of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, Spencer Cons. Club Dam remains a safe and inviting destination for outdoor enthusiasts seeking to connect with nature and water resources in the heart of Owen County, Indiana.
While the dam may not have a detailed risk assessment or emergency action plan in place, its low hazard potential and solid construction suggest a reliable structure for recreational use. With Larry Bucshon (R) representing the area in Congress, there is a sense of community support for the maintenance and upkeep of Spencer Cons. Club Dam. As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the beauty of this private retreat, they can appreciate the efforts of the USDA NRCS in creating a sustainable environment for outdoor recreation in Indiana.
