Managed by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, this Earth-type dam structure was completed in 1986 and stands at a height of 17 feet, with a hydraulic height of 15 feet. The lake has a storage capacity of 400 acre-feet, with a surface area of 38 acres and a drainage area of 1 square mile, making it a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts.
With a spillway width of 80 feet and a maximum discharge of 2100 cubic feet per second, Hideaway Harbor Lake is classified as having a high hazard potential but is currently in fair condition as of the last inspection in July 2020. The dam's risk assessment is moderate, with a risk management plan in place to address potential issues. While the lake does not have associated locks or outlet gates, its primary purpose for recreation attracts visitors seeking outdoor activities and scenic views along the TR-Bickham Bayou. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate resilience, Hideaway Harbor Lake offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of human-made structures and natural environments in Louisiana's Caddo County.
