Davis Timber Park Dam, located in Carroll, Iowa, along the TR-BRUSHY FORK CREEK, is a locally owned recreational earth dam completed in 1980. With a height of 24 feet and a length of 300 feet, the dam provides a storage capacity of 51 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 3 acres. Despite its low hazard potential and moderate risk assessment, the dam has not been rated for its condition, and no recent inspections or maintenance activities have been reported.

Managed by the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Davis Timber Park Dam serves as a vital water resource for the surrounding area. While primarily used for recreational purposes, the dam also plays a role in regulating the flow of water in the TR-BRUSHY FORK CREEK. The dam's uncontrolled spillway type and soil foundation make it essential for maintaining the ecological balance and mitigating the risk of flooding in the region.

As climate change continues to impact water resources and infrastructure, the importance of monitoring and maintaining dams like Davis Timber Park Dam becomes increasingly crucial. With proper oversight and regular inspections, this earth dam can continue to provide essential recreational opportunities while safeguarding against potential risks and ensuring the sustainability of the local water supply.
