Summary
Completed in 1967, the dam stands at a height of 24 feet with a hydraulic height of 22 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 98 acre-feet. The dam is situated on the White River-TR and covers a surface area of 11.4 acres, serving as a popular spot for water resource and climate enthusiasts to enjoy various recreational activities.
With a low hazard potential and a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Mcfall Lake Dam is currently not regulated or inspected by state authorities. Despite its age, the dam continues to provide valuable water storage and recreational opportunities for the local community. The dam's location within the Memphis District adds to its significance, attracting visitors interested in water management and climate resilience.
As a key feature in the region, Mcfall Lake Dam offers a glimpse into the intersection of water resource management and recreational infrastructure. With its modest dimensions and historical significance, the dam serves as a reminder of the importance of maintaining and preserving water resources for future generations. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Mcfall Lake Dam presents an opportunity to explore the symbiotic relationship between water conservation and outdoor recreation.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
