Built in 1965 by designer SIDNEY, this earth dam stands at a height of 20 feet and has a storage capacity of 70 acre-feet. With a surface area of 13 acres and a maximum discharge of 850 cubic feet per second, the dam serves as a vital resource for the local agricultural community.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Stroud Estate is regulated, permitted, inspected, and enforced by the state agency to ensure its safety and functionality. Despite being rated as having a very high risk potential, the condition assessment of the dam is currently not rated. The spillway is controlled and equipped with a valve for water release, further enhancing the dam's ability to manage water levels effectively.
Although the dam's hazard potential is undetermined, its critical role in irrigation for the surrounding area highlights the importance of regular maintenance and monitoring. With its strategic location and significant storage capacity, Stroud Estate continues to play a key role in water resource management and climate resilience efforts in Canadian County, Oklahoma.
