The dam, primarily owned by a private entity, stands 30 feet high and has a storage capacity of 80 acre-feet. Situated on TR-Box Branch Bear Creek, the dam is designed to withstand low hazard potential, with no reported incidents of risk or failure.
Despite being a privately owned structure, Ken-Mar Acres Lake Dam is not regulated or inspected by the state of Missouri, nor does it fall under federal jurisdiction. With a surface area of 5 acres and a drainage area of 21 acres, the dam provides essential water supply for the local area while also offering recreational opportunities. While the dam's condition is currently unrated, its low hazard potential suggests a relatively stable and secure structure that continues to serve its intended purposes effectively.
