Situated on the TR-Little Niangua river, the dam serves as a recreational spot for fishing and wildlife enthusiasts, covering a surface area of 16 acres within a drainage area of 1384 acres.
Despite being privately owned and not regulated by the state, Maddux Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as having a moderate risk level. With its uncontrolled spillway and lack of outlet gates, the dam has a maximum discharge capacity of 108 cubic feet per second. While the condition assessment is currently not rated, the risk management measures and emergency preparedness plans for the dam are yet to be fully documented. As a crucial habitat for fish and wildlife in the area, the dam plays a significant role in the local ecosystem and provides a serene recreational setting for visitors to enjoy the natural beauty of the region.
