Jasper Lake Dam, located in Gasconade, Missouri, was completed in 1971 and serves as a critical structure for flood risk reduction along the TR-Little Berger Creek.

Owned privately, the dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 82 acre-feet, making it an essential part of the region's water resource management system. While primarily designed for flood risk reduction, the dam also supports recreational activities and covers a surface area of 6 acres within its 110-acre drainage area.
Despite its low hazard potential, Jasper Lake Dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, highlighting the need for regular inspections and maintenance to ensure its continued safety and effectiveness. The dam, constructed as an earth-type structure with buttress core, has not been regulated or inspected by state authorities, raising concerns about the lack of oversight for this crucial infrastructure. With no emergency action plan in place and limited information on risk management measures, there is a need for increased attention to the maintenance and monitoring of Jasper Lake Dam to safeguard both the community and the environment it serves.
