The dam, completed in 1940, serves primarily for recreational purposes and stands at a height of 15 feet with a length of 520 feet. It impounds Pond Creek, creating a serene 10.9-acre lake with a storage capacity of 990 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 42 feet.
Despite its recreational allure, Claryville Lake Dam poses a high hazard potential due to its poor condition assessment. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 40 feet, adding to its risk profile. The Kentucky Division of Water regulates the dam, ensuring state permitting, inspection, and enforcement activities are carried out regularly to safeguard public safety and property downstream.
With its moderate risk assessment and the potential for significant impact in the event of failure, Claryville Lake Dam serves as a reminder of the critical importance of maintaining and managing water resources. Enthusiasts of water resources and climate should monitor the dam's condition closely and advocate for necessary risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and ensure the long-term safety and sustainability of this vital infrastructure.
