The earth dam, completed in 1981, stands at a height of 30 feet and stretches 350 feet in length. With a maximum storage capacity of 77 acre-feet and a normal storage level of 71 acre-feet, the lake covers an area of 8 acres and drains a watershed of 300.8 acres.
Despite being privately owned, Daugherty Lake has a low hazard potential and is currently in a not rated condition assessment. It operates with an uncontrolled spillway and has no outlet gates. The dam's risk assessment categorizes it as moderate, with a risk level of 3. While it currently meets guidelines for emergency action plans, there is room for improvement in terms of the preparation and revision of such plans to ensure the safety and integrity of the structure in the event of an emergency. Overall, Daugherty Lake serves as a valuable resource for wildlife in the area and contributes to the conservation efforts in the region.
