Built in 1959, the dam stands at a structural height of 10 feet with a hydraulic height of 7 feet, containing a storage capacity of 65 acre-feet. The dam spans a length of 300 feet and has a normal storage level of 54 feet, covering a surface area of 6 acres.
Despite its low hazard potential and satisfactory condition assessment, the dam has not undergone recent inspections since February 2013. The dam is not regulated by the state but is subject to state inspections, with no enforcement or permitting requirements. The surrounding area is not at risk of significant inundation, and emergency action plans have not been updated or assessed in recent years. The dam is situated on Ryan Creek-Os and operates without the presence of locks or spillways.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, Lake Property Dam offers a unique recreational spot in Guilford County. With its modest storage capacity and picturesque surroundings, the dam serves as a tranquil location for outdoor activities and relaxation. While the dam may not be subject to extensive regulatory oversight, its historical significance and contribution to the local ecosystem make it a valuable asset for the community.
