Woods Lake Dam, located in Forrest, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality.
This earth dam stands at 12.5 feet high and spans 560 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 30.4 acre-feet. The dam poses a high hazard potential and has been assessed to be in poor condition as of January 2020.
Despite its poor condition, Woods Lake Dam serves as a vital component in managing the flow of the UNT of Walls Creek and protecting the surrounding area from flooding. With its uncontrolled spillway type and limited inspection frequency of every five years, there is a moderate risk associated with this dam. Water resource and climate enthusiasts should take note of the ongoing regulatory oversight and the need for potential risk management measures to ensure the safety and integrity of Woods Lake Dam for the future.
