Constructed in 1959, this dam stands at a height of 30 feet and has a storage capacity of 32 acre-feet. Situated on the TR-FOX River, the dam's low hazard potential and not rated condition assessment make it a safe and stable structure for the surrounding community.
Although not regulated by the state, Hiller Lake Dam serves as an important recreational resource for residents and visitors alike. With a surface area of 2 acres and a drainage area of 13 square miles, this dam provides a tranquil setting for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities. Despite its modest size, the dam plays a crucial role in maintaining water supply for the local area.
With no official spillway type or outlet gates listed, Hiller Lake Dam's design and construction reflect a simpler approach to water resource management. While it may not be as large or complex as other dams, its contribution to the community's water supply and recreational opportunities should not be overlooked by water resource and climate enthusiasts.
