The earth dam stands at 29 feet tall and spans 541 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a normal storage capacity of 95 acre-feet over a surface area of 10 acres. The dam is regulated by the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections every three years, with the last assessment conducted in April 2018, yielding a satisfactory condition assessment.
With a spillway width of 100 feet and an uncontrolled spillway type, Camp Lakeview Dam poses a significant hazard potential, though its risk assessment is categorized as moderate. The dam's location in a highly regulated state ensures that it meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. The dam is privately owned, with no associated federal agencies involved in its management or funding. Despite its potential risks, Camp Lakeview Dam provides valuable recreational opportunities for the community and serves as a vital water resource in the region.
