Completed in 1978, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and spans 365 feet in length. The primary purpose of the dam is for recreation, with a normal storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 119 acre-feet. The dam sits on an unnamed tributary of Honey Creek and is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources.
Despite its low hazard potential, Springdale Farm Dam is classified as having a high risk due to its condition assessment being rated as fair. The last inspection in September 2020 revealed that the dam is in need of attention to ensure its continued safety and functionality. Although it lacks a spillway, the dam has no outlet gates and is not associated with any locks. With a risk management plan yet to be specified, there is a need for ongoing monitoring and maintenance to mitigate potential risks associated with this recreational water resource.
