J P Woods Lake Dam, located in Byhalia, Mississippi, is a private-owned earth dam designed by the USDA NRCS in 1962 for recreational purposes.
The dam stands at a height of 22 feet and has a storage capacity of 225 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-Byhalia Creek, the dam is regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality and is inspected, permitted, and enforced by state authorities.
Although the dam's hazard potential is currently undetermined and its condition is not rated, it is classified as having a moderate risk level. With an uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates, the dam's overall risk management measures and emergency preparedness remain unclear. Despite these uncertainties, J P Woods Lake Dam presents an intriguing case study for water resource and climate enthusiasts interested in the intersection of private ownership, recreational use, and state regulation within the context of dam infrastructure in Mississippi.
