Situated on a tributary to Lake Erie, the dam serves as a vital recreational spot for the community, offering a surface area of 6.4 acres for various water activities.

State-regulated and permitted, the dam falls under the jurisdiction of the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, ensuring compliance with safety standards and enforcement measures. In the event of an emergency, the dam's emergency action plan status and risk assessment information are not currently updated, suggesting the need for proactive risk management measures to mitigate potential hazards and safeguard the surrounding area from flooding risks.
