The dam, completed in 1983, stands at a height of 10 feet and has a length of 275 feet, providing a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet. The lake covers a surface area of 17 acres and is fed by an unnamed tributary of Spear Lake.
Despite being regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and having a low hazard potential, Price Lake is in poor condition and poses a high risk, according to a 2013 assessment. The dam lacks a spillway and outlet gates, contributing to its poor condition. However, the lake remains a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking recreational activities such as fishing and boating in a scenic natural setting. Potential visitors should note the limited inspection frequency of once every 5 years and the absence of emergency action plans.
