The dam, with a height of 10 feet, creates a storage capacity of 107 acre-feet and covers a surface area of 20 acres. Situated on Big Creek in Carroll County, the dam is primarily utilized for recreation purposes and has a low hazard potential.
Managed by a private owner, East Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state, making it a unique destination for those looking to explore nature in a less monitored environment. The dam's earth structure with buttress core type provides stability for its recreational activities, such as fishing and boating. With a lack of spillway and locks, the dam offers a serene and untouched environment for visitors to enjoy.
While the dam's condition assessment is not rated and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan, East Lake Dam remains a hidden gem for water resource and climate enthusiasts looking to experience a tranquil setting for outdoor recreation. Its location within a natural landscape and minimal regulatory oversight offer a peaceful escape for those seeking a connection with the environment and a chance to engage in water-related activities away from the hustle and bustle of more popular destinations.
