The dam, constructed in 1948 by Dolese Company, stands at a height of 15 feet and spans 330 feet in length. With a storage capacity of 313 acre-feet and a surface area of 25 acres, this earth dam serves as a popular destination for water resource and climate enthusiasts seeking outdoor activities in a picturesque setting.
Despite its scenic appeal, Sportsmans Club poses a high hazard potential with a poor condition assessment, prompting regular inspections by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board. The dam's controlled spillway and valve outlet gate help manage water levels, but its aging infrastructure raises concerns about safety and maintenance. The risk assessment classifies the site as having a very high risk level, emphasizing the need for enhanced risk management measures and emergency action plans to ensure the safety of visitors and nearby communities.
As water resource and climate advocates explore this recreational oasis, it is essential to recognize the importance of proactive dam management and safety protocols. Sportsmans Club serves as a reminder of the delicate balance between enjoying nature's beauty and safeguarding against potential hazards, highlighting the critical role of regulatory agencies in monitoring and maintaining our water infrastructure for the well-being of all.
