The dam spans 2,566 feet in length and has a surface area of 265 acres, impacting the drainage area of 5.4 square miles.
Although Mill Pond Dam is privately owned and not regulated by the state, its low hazard potential is monitored through periodic inspections, with the last one conducted in August 1999. While the dam's condition is currently unrated, it has not undergone any modifications or risk assessments in recent years. Despite the lack of state jurisdiction and regulatory oversight, the dam's design and engineering have ensured its stability and safety for the surrounding community. For enthusiasts interested in water resource management and climate impact, Mill Pond Dam represents a unique case study of a privately owned earth dam contributing to local water storage and flood control efforts in Arkansas.
