With a dam height of 30 feet and a hydraulic height of 29 feet, this low hazard potential lake offers recreational opportunities while also providing a habitat for wildlife. The lake covers a surface area of 4 acres and has a normal storage capacity of 64 acre-feet.
Managed by the St. Louis District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, O'Keefe Lake is fed by the TR-Salt River and has a drainage area of 85 square miles. The dam, constructed with a stone core and resting on a soil foundation, has a moderate risk assessment rating. Despite not being regulated by the state, the lake's condition is currently not rated, and it lacks an Emergency Action Plan, suggesting the need for further evaluation and management measures to ensure its safety and longevity as a valuable resource for both wildlife and recreation enthusiasts in the area.
