It serves multiple purposes, including fire protection, stock, and a small fish pond. This earth-type dam stands at a height of 20 feet and stretches 400 feet in length, with a storage capacity of 64 acre-feet. Completed in 1948, Freak Out has a maximum storage capacity of 64 acre-feet and a normal storage capacity of 39 acre-feet.
Despite its low hazard potential, Freak Out is regulated by the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation (DNRC), with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place. The dam has not been rated for its condition assessment, and details on the last inspection date and frequency are currently unavailable. The Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status, risk assessment, and management measures for Freak Out are also unspecified at this time. While the dam poses a low risk, its structural integrity and maintenance require further evaluation to ensure the safety of the surrounding community and environment in the event of an emergency.
