The dam stands at 28 feet high and spans a length of 335 feet, creating a picturesque lake with a storage capacity of 43 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Cane Run stream, the dam's spillway type is uncontrolled, with a low hazard potential and a poor condition assessment.
Despite its poor condition, the dam poses a moderate risk (rated 3 out of 5) and is under the regulatory oversight of the Kentucky Division of Water. While the last inspection took place in December 1999, the dam is monitored for safety and meets state permitting, inspection, and enforcement requirements. With its strategic location in Seatonville and proximity to the Louisville District, Gk Eisonback Lake Dam offers a tranquil setting for outdoor enthusiasts and water resource aficionados to enjoy recreational activities amidst the beautiful natural surroundings of Shelby County.
