Built in 1964 by USDA NRCS, this dam on Beaver Creek stands at a height of 20 feet and has a length of 1150 feet, providing a storage capacity of 200 acre-feet. The dam features a controlled spillway with a width of 47 feet and is regulated by the Michigan DEGLE.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Lockwood Lake Dam is categorized as having a very high risk due to its proximity to populated areas. The last inspection in 2008 revealed the dam to be in good condition, but with a risk management plan needed to address potential hazards. With a drainage area of 0.6 square miles, the dam plays a crucial role in providing recreational opportunities while also being closely monitored to ensure public safety and environmental protection.
