Swint Lake Dam, located in Henry County, Illinois, is a private earth dam completed in 1968 with a primary purpose of recreation. The dam stands at 34 feet tall and spans 450 feet in length, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 260 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Illinois Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and functionality.
The dam's spillway type is uncontrolled with a width of 60 feet, and it poses a significant hazard potential.
