This dam, with a height of 14 feet and a storage capacity of 50 acre-feet, serves as a popular spot for outdoor activities such as fishing, boating, and picnicking. Managed by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality, the dam is inspected, regulated, and enforced by state authorities to ensure its safety and functionality.
Despite its low hazard potential, the dam poses a moderate risk due to its uncontrolled spillway type and lack of a condition assessment rating. While the dam has not been rated for its current condition, it is important for the owners and regulators to stay vigilant and implement necessary risk management measures to prevent any potential failures. With a surface area of 5 acres and a normal storage capacity of 36 acre-feet, the dam provides valuable recreational opportunities for the local community while also requiring ongoing monitoring and maintenance to ensure its long-term stability and safety.
