Summary
The dam at the club, completed in 1926, stands at a height of 20 feet and has a normal storage capacity of 28 acre-feet. With a surface area of 7 acres and a drainage area of 0.44 square miles, the dam serves the primary purpose of providing recreational activities for enthusiasts in the area.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, the dam at Allen Sportsman Club is classified as an earth dam with a stone core and soil foundation. Although the hazard potential is rated as low, the risk assessment for the dam is categorized as very high, signaling the importance of ongoing monitoring and maintenance. The facility has a controlled spillway and one outlet gate, with the last inspection conducted in May 2010 at a frequency of every 5 years.
For water resource and climate enthusiasts, the Allen Sportsman Club offers a unique opportunity to explore the intersection of human recreation and environmental stewardship. By understanding the design and function of the dam, visitors can appreciate the delicate balance between water management for recreational purposes and the preservation of natural ecosystems. With its historical significance and scenic location along TR-Muddy Boggy Creek, the club serves as a valuable resource for those interested in the sustainable use of water resources in Oklahoma.

Dam Data Reference
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.
