Titlow Lake, located in Henderson, Minnesota, is a privately-owned dam with a gravity structure completed in 1920. The dam stands at a height of 9 feet and has a length of 45 feet, serving as a vital water resource on the Rush River. With a storage capacity of 5500 acre-feet, the lake provides a normal storage capacity of 2772 acre-feet for the surrounding area.

Despite its historical significance, Titlow Lake is currently assessed to be in poor condition with a low hazard potential. The dam is regulated by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and undergoes regular inspections to ensure its safety and integrity. The last inspection took place in June 2008, with a scheduled frequency of every 8 years. While the dam's condition may be concerning, its importance for water resource management in the region cannot be understated.

For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Titlow Lake represents a unique intersection of history, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship. As efforts continue to maintain and improve the dam's condition, this picturesque lake remains a key component of the local landscape, providing both recreational opportunities and essential water storage for the community. As discussions surrounding dam safety and climate resilience evolve, Titlow Lake stands as a reminder of the delicate balance between human development and natural resource conservation.
