With a hydraulic height of 13 feet and a structural height of 10 feet, this dam serves a primary purpose of recreation, offering a serene backdrop for outdoor enthusiasts to enjoy. Despite its recreational function, it is important to note that the dam is classified as having a high hazard potential, but as of the last inspection in March 2020, its condition was deemed satisfactory.
Managed by the NC Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, Crossgate Dam #2 has a storage capacity of 40 acre-feet and has been regulated, permitted, and inspected by state authorities to ensure public safety. While the dam has not undergone any major modifications in recent years, regular inspections and a comprehensive emergency action plan help mitigate potential risks associated with its operation. With its location in Wake County and its close proximity to the city of Raleigh, this dam serves as both a recreational destination and a critical piece of infrastructure for water resource management in the area.
