Built in 1935, this earth dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a structural height of 15 feet. With a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet and a surface area of 33 acres, the dam serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities in the area.
Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, Goodwin Lake Dam has a significant hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating. The dam has not been rated for its condition since its last inspection in March 2011, which occurred every three years. While the dam does not have an Emergency Action Plan prepared or inundation maps in place, it meets regulatory guidelines and is subject to state inspection, enforcement, and permitting.
The dam features an uncontrolled spillway and is surrounded by a drainage area of 1.04 square miles. Despite not having outlet gates or associated structures, Goodwin Lake Dam remains a vital resource for water storage and recreational activities in the Camp area of Louisiana.
