Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, Willo's Lake Dam is regulated by the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (DEGLE). The dam features an uncontrolled spillway with a width of 12 feet and a maximum discharge capacity of 547 cubic feet per second. The last inspection took place in November 2017, with a scheduled inspection frequency of every 5 years.
In the event of any emergency, it is crucial for the dam owner to have an Emergency Action Plan (EAP) in place.

Overall, Willo's Lake Dam stands as a vital structure for recreation in the area, with important regulatory oversight to ensure its safety and functionality.
