Built in 1954, this earth dam serves primarily for irrigation purposes, with additional benefits for recreational activities. The dam stands at a structural height of 27 feet, with a hydraulic height of 17 feet, creating a reservoir with a maximum storage capacity of 60 acre-feet and a normal storage of 48 acre-feet. The dam is situated on Kenneth Branch-Tr river and covers a surface area of 3.5 acres, serving a drainage area of 93 square miles.
Despite its low hazard potential and fair condition assessment as of April 2017, Adcock Lake Dam is subject to state regulation and inspection by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program. The dam has not undergone any significant modifications since its construction and does not have a designated spillway type. With a last inspection date in April 2017 and an inspection frequency of 5 years, the dam's emergency action plan status, inundation maps, and risk assessment details are currently unavailable. Overall, Adcock Lake Dam remains a vital structure for water resource management in Wake County, contributing to irrigation and recreational needs in the region.
