Club Lake Dam dam
Club Lake Dam
Club Lake Dam, located in Lee County, Mississippi, is a privately owned structure primarily used for recreational purposes. The dam, classified as an earth dam with a buttress core type, stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 135 acre-feet. With a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating, the dam is regulated and inspected by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality to ensure its safety and functionality.
Although the dam does not have a designated year of completion or a specific length, it features an uncontrolled spillway type and no outlet gates or associated structures. Despite being labeled as "Not Rated" in terms of its condition assessment, the dam is subject to regular inspections and enforcement measures to address any potential risks or issues. With the surrounding area designated as a moderate risk zone, emergency preparedness plans and risk management measures are likely in place to mitigate any potential hazards or emergencies that may arise.
While Club Lake Dam may not be a high-profile structure, its importance lies in providing recreational opportunities for the local community while also adhering to state regulations and safety standards. With its tranquil setting and moderate risk level, the dam serves as a valuable resource for water and climate enthusiasts to appreciate and enjoy in the heart of Mississippi.

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.

About Club Lake Dam
Where does the data for Club Lake Dam 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.
