This earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet and spans 450 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 87 acre-feet. Situated on an unnamed tributary of Catherine Creek, the dam has a low hazard potential but is currently in poor condition, last assessed in August 2015.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a high risk due to its poor condition, as noted in a recent risk assessment. The dam lacks a spillway and outlet gates, raising concerns about its ability to manage water flow effectively. The structure has not undergone any modifications in recent years and is subject to inspections every five years to ensure its continued safety and functionality.
With the dam falling under state jurisdiction and regulation by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources, efforts are being made to address its poor condition and mitigate any potential risks. As a popular spot for recreational activities, such as fishing and boating, Rednour Lake Dam plays a vital role in the local community and must be carefully monitored and maintained to ensure the safety of both visitors and the surrounding environment.
