Summary
Built in 1995, this earth dam stands at a height of 22.5 feet and has a length of 384 feet, creating a reservoir with a storage capacity of 234 acre-feet. With a surface area of 15 acres and a drainage area of 0.15 square miles, the dam serves as a scenic destination for water enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities.
Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, Segrest Lake Dam is regulated and inspected by the state, ensuring its safety and compliance with environmental standards. The dam poses a low hazard potential and is currently rated as "Not Rated" in terms of condition assessment. In the event of an emergency, the dam's risk assessment is considered moderate, with risk management measures in place to mitigate any potential dangers.
Overlooking the UNT of Bakers Creek, Segrest Lake Dam offers a tranquil environment for visitors to enjoy fishing, boating, and other recreational activities. With its uncontrolled spillway and moderate risk level, the dam provides a harmonious blend of natural beauty and safety measures for water resource and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and explore.

Dam Data Reference
Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
