Peters, Missouri, was completed in 1964 and serves as a private recreational facility along Tr Dardenne Creek. The dam is primarily an earth structure with a buttress core type and stands at a height of 25 feet, providing a storage capacity of 54 acre-feet. With a surface area of 4 acres and a drainage area of 66 square miles, the dam offers a low hazard potential and has not been rated for condition assessment.
Despite being privately owned, Borgelt Lake Dam does not fall under state jurisdiction, regulation, or permitting. The dam is not inspected, regulated, or enforced by any state agency, making it unique in terms of its management and oversight. With its primary purpose being recreation, the dam offers a peaceful retreat for water resource and climate enthusiasts looking to enjoy the serene beauty of the surrounding area.
Situated within the Kansas City District and under the congressional representation of Blaine Luetkemeyer (R), Borgelt Lake Dam stands as a testament to private ownership and stewardship in maintaining water resources for recreational purposes. While lacking in official assessments and emergency preparedness, the dam's existence adds to the diversity of water infrastructure in the region, catering to those seeking a tranquil escape in the heart of Missouri.
