Completed in 1981, this Earth dam structure stands at 15 feet high and spans 585 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 146 acre-feet. The pond covers a surface area of 20.9 acres and serves as a habitat for various aquatic species.
With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Whitney Boggs Pond presents a moderate risk (3) due to its location near the TR-Boggy Bayou. The spillway is uncontrolled with a width of 12 feet, and the pond has a drainage area of 0.9 square miles. The last inspection in October 2020 found the structure to be in satisfactory condition, meeting regulatory requirements for state inspection, permitting, and enforcement.
The pond's primary purpose is for fish and wildlife conservation, offering recreational opportunities for locals and visitors alike. Despite its moderate risk rating, Whitney Boggs Pond remains a valuable resource for both the surrounding ecosystem and the community of Shreveport, Louisiana.
