Lake Fox dam
Lake Fox
Lake Fox, located in Geneva, Alabama, is a private recreational reservoir primarily used for fishing and relaxation. Built in 1953, this gravity dam stands at a hydraulic height of 24 feet and a structural height of 41 feet. With a storage capacity of 232 acre-feet, Lake Fox offers a tranquil escape for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking a low-hazard environment for outdoor activities.
Situated near Campbell Mill Creek, this dam is under the jurisdiction of the Mobile District of the US Army Corps of Engineers. Despite its low hazard potential and a lack of recent inspection data, Lake Fox remains a popular destination for those looking to enjoy the natural beauty of Alabama's Twin Lakes Fishing Lodge area. The dam's associated structures and maintenance schedule are currently unreported, but the reservoir continues to serve its primary purpose of recreation with a normal storage capacity of 213 acre-feet.
While the condition assessment of Lake Fox is not rated, the reservoir's emergency action plan and risk management measures are currently unspecified. Despite these limitations, Lake Fox provides a picturesque setting for water enthusiasts to appreciate the scenic beauty of the surrounding area and engage in leisure activities such as fishing and boating. As a privately-owned recreational resource, Lake Fox invites visitors to enjoy the tranquility and serenity of its waters in the heart of Alabama's natural landscape.
Dam data reference
Condition Assessment
- Satisfactory
- No existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
- Fair
- No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action.
- Poor
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency.
- Unsatisfactory
- A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
- Not Rated
- The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Hazard Potential Classification
- High
- Dams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
- Significant
- Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environmental damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
- Low
- Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
- Undetermined
- Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Plan around the weather
Same NOAA / yr.no feed Snoflo's iOS app uses. Watch the precipitation column on the meteogram -- rain on the basin upstream typically lifts inflow 24-72 hours later.

About Lake Fox
Where does the data for Lake Fox come from?
Structural and regulatory data come from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers' National Inventory of Dams (NID). Weather forecast comes from NOAA / yr.no -- the same feed Snoflo's iOS app uses.
How often is the report updated?
NID structural data refreshes annually as the Corps publishes updated assessments. The weather forecast refreshes throughout the day.
What does the Low hazard rating mean?
The Corps of Engineers' hazard potential classification grades probable consequences if the dam fails: High = probable loss of human life; Significant = no probable loss of human life but possible economic loss / environmental damage; Low = no probable loss of human life, only minor economic / environmental losses. See the Dam Data Reference card above for the full definitions.
What's "% of normal"?
The current storage value compared to the historical average storage on this calendar day. 100% = right on average; values above 100% mean above-normal storage (wet year); values below mean below-normal (dry year or drought).
Can I get alerts when storage crosses a threshold?
Yes -- alerts are managed in the Snoflo iOS app. Favorite this dam, set a threshold, and you'll get a push the moment conditions cross.
