Summary
Managed by the state, this reservoir sits in Meade County, near the city of Freedom, Oklahoma. The dam, constructed in 1926 by Wilson and Co, stands at a height of 32 feet and has a maximum storage capacity of 1100 acre-feet.
This picturesque lake is fed by the Stumpie Arroyo and serves as a low hazard potential water source for the region. With a normal storage capacity of 860 acre-feet and a maximum discharge of 7500 cubic feet per second, Lake Larrabee provides essential water resources for the area. Despite its condition being rated as 'Not Rated,' the state regulatory agency, the Kansas Department of Agriculture, ensures that the dam is inspected, permitted, and enforced for safety and compliance.
Water resource and climate enthusiasts will appreciate Lake Larrabee for its historical significance and ecological value. With its serene surroundings and vital role in water management, this reservoir is a key feature in the landscape of Meade County, Kansas. As a state-regulated water source, Lake Larrabee continues to be a vital resource for the community and an important asset in the region's water infrastructure.

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.
