The dam's surface area spans 1.7 acres and is associated with Johnson Creek-Tr, enhancing the area's natural beauty and providing opportunities for outdoor activities.
Despite its recreational benefits, Brookdale Lake Dam has a high hazard potential and is classified as being in fair condition as of the last inspection in January 2021. The dam is regulated by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality's Dam Safety Program, ensuring regular inspections, enforcement, and permitting to maintain safety standards. While the structure has not undergone significant modifications or risk assessments in recent years, its Emergency Action Plan (EAP) status and risk management measures remain unclear. With its picturesque setting and functional design, Brookdale Lake Dam stands as a vital resource for both water management and climate enthusiasts in the Forsyth County area.
