The dam stands at a structural height of 16 feet with a hydraulic height of 13.2 feet, creating a reservoir that has a normal storage capacity of 50 acre-feet and a maximum storage of 61 acre-feet. The dam impounds the waters of the Reedy Creek, covering a surface area of 5 acres and serving a drainage area of 105 square miles.
Although Hurley Lake Dam has a low hazard potential and is classified as being in satisfactory condition, the last inspection conducted in December 2013 revealed that it meets safety standards. The dam has not undergone any modifications since its completion, and there are no associated structures or locks with the facility. Despite not being regulated by the state and having no emergency action plan in place, Hurley Lake Dam remains a crucial feature in the local landscape, providing recreational opportunities for nearby residents and visitors while contributing to the overall water resource management in the area.
