Situated on a tributary to Bayou Bodcau, the dam boasts a surface area of 59 acres and a drainage area of 2 square miles. With a low hazard potential and fair condition assessment, Greg Hall Dam is regulated by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development. The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 100 feet and has a maximum discharge capacity of 850 cubic feet per second.
Despite its moderate risk assessment, the dam's risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans are not explicitly detailed in the available data. However, with regular inspections conducted every 5 years and a recent assessment in October 2020, Greg Hall Dam continues to provide recreational opportunities while ensuring the safety of surrounding communities in Midway.
