With a storage capacity of 164 acre-feet, the dam serves as a recreational hub for residents and visitors alike, offering a serene environment for fishing, boating, and other water activities.
Situated on TR-Wolf Creek, Lake Robin Hood Dam is under the jurisdiction of the St. Louis District and has a low hazard potential. Despite not being regulated by the state, the dam remains a vital component of the local water resource infrastructure. While the dam's condition is currently not rated, it continues to fulfill its intended purpose of providing water storage for the community. With its picturesque surroundings and ample recreational opportunities, Lake Robin Hood Dam stands as a testament to the importance of water resources in supporting both leisure activities and environmental sustainability.
As water resource and climate enthusiasts explore the beauty of Lake Robin Hood Dam, they can appreciate the careful design and construction that went into creating this earth dam. With a surface area of 9 acres and a drainage area of 460 acres, the dam not only enhances the local landscape but also serves as a valuable water storage facility. While the dam's condition assessment is not yet rated, its low hazard potential and recreational benefits make it a key asset in the region's water management system.

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.
