Summary
2 Dam, located in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, is a privately owned earth dam that serves primarily for recreational purposes. With a height of 28.7 feet and a storage capacity of 45.5 acre-feet, this dam creates a 4.6-acre lake that offers a picturesque setting for outdoor activities. Despite its low hazard potential, the dam's condition assessment was rated as poor during its last inspection in July 2020.
Managed by the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Devils Den Park Lake No. 2 Dam is subject to state regulations, permitting, inspection, and enforcement to ensure its structural integrity and public safety. The dam's location near the Phillips Fork tributary provides a vital source of water for the surrounding area, highlighting its importance in maintaining the local ecosystem and supporting wildlife habitats. However, the dam's poor condition raises concerns about its long-term sustainability and the need for potential rehabilitation or maintenance efforts in the future.
As a key feature of Devils Den Park, this dam plays a crucial role in enhancing the recreational experience for visitors while also contributing to the overall water resource management in the region. With its scenic surroundings and tranquil waters, Devils Den Park Lake No. 2 Dam stands as a symbol of the intersection between human activity and environmental conservation, underscoring the importance of sustainable practices in preserving our natural landscapes for future generations of water resource and climate enthusiasts.

Condition Assessment
SatisfactoryNo existing or potential dam safety deficiencies are recognized. Acceptable performance is expected under all loading conditions (static, hydrologic, seismic) in accordance with the minimum applicable state or federal regulatory criteria or tolerable risk guidelines.
Fair
No existing dam safety deficiencies are recognized for normal operating conditions. Rare or extreme hydrologic and/or seismic events may result in a dam safety deficiency. Risk may be in the range to take further action. Note: Rare or extreme event is defined by the regulatory agency based on their minimum
Poor A dam safety deficiency is recognized for normal operating conditions which may realistically occur. Remedial action is necessary. POOR may also be used when uncertainties exist as to critical analysis parameters which identify a potential dam safety deficiency. Investigations and studies are necessary.
Unsatisfactory
A dam safety deficiency is recognized that requires immediate or emergency remedial action for problem resolution.
Not Rated
The dam has not been inspected, is not under state or federal jurisdiction, or has been inspected but, for whatever reason, has not been rated.
Not Available
Dams for which the condition assessment is restricted to approved government users.
Hazard Potential Classification
HighDams assigned the high hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation will probably cause loss of human life.
Significant
Dams assigned the significant hazard potential classification are those dams where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life but can cause economic loss, environment damage, disruption of lifeline facilities, or impact other concerns. Significant hazard potential classification dams are often located in predominantly rural or agricultural areas but could be in areas with population and significant infrastructure.
Low
Dams assigned the low hazard potential classification are those where failure or mis-operation results in no probable loss of human life and low economic and/or environmental losses. Losses are principally limited to the owner's property.
Undetermined
Dams for which a downstream hazard potential has not been designated or is not provided.
Not Available
Dams for which the downstream hazard potential is restricted to approved government users.
