The dam is privately owned and falls under the jurisdiction of the state of Texas. It is an earth core type dam with a height of 18 feet and a length of 400 feet, providing a storage capacity of 113 acre-feet.
Despite not having a spillway, the dam has one outlet gate and is not rated for condition assessment. With a high risk assessment level of 2, there are no emergency action plans in place and the hazard potential is not available. The dam is situated on the TR-Antelope Creek and is managed by the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Antelope Lake Dam presents an interesting case study in the management and regulation of smaller, privately owned dams in Texas.
