It was completed in 1965 with a primary purpose of flood risk reduction. The dam stands at 28 feet in height and spans 550 feet in length, providing a storage capacity of 140 acre-feet. With a controlled spillway and a maximum discharge of 4600 cubic feet per second, Young Glen has been deemed to have a low hazard potential despite its very high risk assessment rating.
Managed by the Oklahoma Water Resources Board, Young Glen is subject to state regulation, permitting, inspection, and enforcement. The dam is equipped with a single valve outlet gate and has a designated inspection frequency of 5 years. Although the condition assessment is currently not rated, the dam's risk management measures are not specified, leaving room for potential improvements in the future. Young Glen's location in Creek County adds to the significance of its role in flood protection for the surrounding area.
