Built in 1930, the earth dam has a height of 20 feet and a hydraulic height of 16 feet, with a storage capacity of 79 acre-feet. The dam is regulated by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, with state permitting, inspection, and enforcement in place to ensure its safety and compliance with regulations.
The reservoir serves as a tributary to Little Skin Bayou and has a controlled spillway with a width of 1 foot. With a surface area of 5 acres and a normal storage capacity of 63 acre-feet, White Lake provides essential water resources for the surrounding area. Although the dam's condition is currently not rated, regular inspections are conducted every 5 years to monitor its integrity and address any potential risks or issues that may arise.
Despite its low hazard potential, White Lake plays a vital role in water resource management and climate resilience in the region. With its strategic location and design, the reservoir continues to serve as a significant asset for water supply, flood control, and environmental protection efforts in Baldridge C. and beyond.
