As a significant feature along the TR-Black River, Lake Lockloma Dam offers a picturesque setting with a surface area of 26 acres and a drainage area of 160 acres. While it provides a serene environment for outdoor activities, its high hazard potential underscores the importance of ensuring its maintenance and safety for water resource and climate enthusiasts who frequent the area.
