This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 30 feet, with a maximum storage capacity of 80 acre-feet and a normal storage of 50 acre-feet. The dam overlooks TR-Adams Fork-Bonne Femme Creek and covers a surface area of 5 acres within a drainage area of 35 square miles.
Despite being classified as a low hazard potential structure with a condition assessment of "Not Rated," Davis Lake Dam has not been subject to state regulation, inspection, or enforcement. With no associated structures or outlet gates, the dam's emergency action plan status remains unknown, raising questions about its preparedness for potential risks. Even though the dam has not been modified in recent years, its lack of recent inspection data and emergency planning updates suggest a need for increased monitoring and maintenance to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and water resources.
